Questions
The things people ask us most, answered plainly.
Does it cost anything to apply?
No. Job seekers never pay a fee to Ready Force. Our fees are paid by the employers who hire through us.
How soon could I start working?
It depends on the openings we have and how quickly you complete your application and I-9 verification. Some applicants start within a few days; others wait for a shift that fits their availability.
Am I an employee of Ready Force or of the company where I work?
During a temporary assignment you are an employee of Ready Force Staffing. We handle your payroll, tax withholding, and workers' compensation. The client company directs your day-to-day work.
How often do I get paid?
Weekly, with rapid payment options available. Your recruiter will go over pay dates and timecard procedures before your first shift.
Can a temporary job become permanent?
Often, yes. Many assignments are temp-to-hire, which means the client can bring you onto their own payroll after an agreed period. It is one of the most common ways our people find permanent work.
What if I can't make my shift?
Tell us before the shift starts, not after. Email [email protected] with your name, the site, and the date, and call your recruiter as well. Giving us early notice lets us cover the spot and protects your standing for future assignments.
How do I check my schedule, hours, or pay stub?
Through ReadyCrew, the Ready Force employee platform. You get a login when you're placed, and it works on a phone. Your schedule, timecards, and pay stubs are all there. If you can't get in, call the Fife office and we'll sort it out.
Who do I contact about scheduling or a timecard?
Email [email protected] or call the Fife office at 800-766-8393 during business hours. Operations handles scheduling, shift changes, timecards, and coverage questions for both employees and clients.
What should I bring to my first shift?
Government-issued photo ID and I-9 documentation, plus any site-specific gear such as steel-toe boots. Ask your recruiter what the site requires.
What areas do you staff?
We staff across the Puget Sound region from our Fife office, including Tacoma, Federal Way, Auburn, Kent, Sumner, Puyallup, Lakewood, Renton, and Seattle.
I'm an employer. How do I get started?
Use the request workers form or call 800-766-8393. We'll set up your account, agree on rates, and begin recruiting for the roles and shifts you need.
