CASS Temporary Employment Services (TES)
Surpassing industry standards of quality, creating
a reputation of distinction, our endeavor is to exemplify the ideal of
the temporary employment industry.
Since
the inception of CASS Temporary Employment Services (TES), formerly known
as Temporary Employment Services, we have steadily grown in establishing business relationships
to service employers throughout the Phoenix metropolitan valley. TES is
a Full Service employment agency providing Temporary, Project Oriented
(Short & Long Term) and Temp-to-Perm employees. We deliver administrative
and human resource services to reduce risk, liability and related costs
to employers by providing worker's compensation, unemployment, payroll,
state & federal tax withholdings, time cards, transportation, safety
training, and pre-screened candidates. Our service ensures the employer
we deliver well rested, nourished and qualified candidates. The CASS Employment
Program serves each candidate breakfast and provides a well-balanced lunch.
The candidate is prepared for the specific assignment by facilitating
necessary safety training and issuing equipment related to the job. Our
clients are not charged for any services provided to them. We are a non-profit
organization and promote the fair and ethical treatment of all our clients.
About CASS Temporary Employment Services (TES)
TES was initially established in August of 2001 to accommodate the diverse
labor needs of Maricopa County. Administered by the Central Arizona Shelter
Services (CASS), CASS TES utilizes those job ready individuals residing
in the shelter to staff the temporary labor needs of local businesses.
CASS TES has created working relationships throughout Maricopa County,
sending workers to over 30 businesses. We have sent a number of clients
out to work on temporary assignments, often resulting in full-time permanent
employment opportunities. We encourage employers to consider hiring clients
to a full-time status supported by our policy of no minimum contractual
obligation and/or buy out fees, as is a common practice among for-profit
employment agencies. In addition to TES we also provide a Direct Hire/
Placement program that works one-on-one with clients to attain gainful
employment through our Job Development Services (JDS).

CASS TES is unlike any other 'day labor halls' in that our clients are
completely supported through all aspects of gaining employment without
being exploited. Our service is a valuable resource for clients to use
as a stepping-stone in order to reintegrate into the workforce. Our goal
is to facilitate services that enable or empower the client to re-enter
or enter the workforce. For a list of supportive services that are offered
to our clients/candidates please click HERE.
Our history
August 2001 was the inception of Temporary Employment Services, now known as CASS Temporary
Employment Services (TES). An investigative market study was conducted
to gather data to validate the theory of the exploitation of the common
“Day Laborer”.
Through this study CASS recognized the need to address this segment of
the market and the importance of exposing the unethical practices of some
day labor halls. Typically these workers are made to arrive as early as
3:00 AM and wait for the possibility of a work opportunity without any
compensation for their waiting time until approximately 5:00-6:00 am.
If fortunate, the workers are then given an assignment and informed of
the employer, location and the type of labor requested. The worker is
then responsible to make transportation arrangements or ride the agency’s
van, which in turn they are charged for. The assigned worker is not provided
with transportation, tools, clothing, foot-ware, food, water and/or equipment
unless he or she is willing to pay for these services or items. The worker
is paid minimum wage and at the end of the day the fees for the provided
services and/or items listed above are deducted from his/her pay. In addition,
if paid by check, the agency will cash their check with minimum identification
and then charge a fee for that service as well. The for-profit day labor
companies profit heavily while violating the rights of the worker. While
CASS T.E.S. promotes fair and ethical treatment of our workers, we also
promote an awareness of proper practices within the day labor employment
community. If a day labor provider does not cover Workers’ Compensation,
the customer could be held liable. Make sure that the temporary labor
service you are using lives up to its promises, so that it may live up
to your standards.
