Employee Morale Impact

When internal employees discover you're paying temps $10+ more per hour ("hostage pay"), it creates salary expectations and morale issues. This premium puts extreme upward pressure on wages across your entire team.

Compliance Risk

Workforce eliminates misclassification risk by T4ing all temps. PDT models leave compliance responsibility with your practice, creating potential tax and legal exposure.

Insurance Coverage

Workforce includes workers' compensation and liability insurance. With PDT, you're responsible for coverage gaps and potential claims.

Operational Efficiency

Our client portal streamlines scheduling, tracking, and management. PDT requires manual coordination, multiple phone calls, and significant administrative overhead.
