Before you hire that accountant or marketing manager, should you lease them instead? Increasingly, businesses are choosing from consultant-style agencies rather than hiring full-time workers. It can be a wise choice for small businesses in particular. Here’s how to decide if Employee Leasing is right for you:

First, you must determine the hours of work you will actually need that employee. Too many companies, in the pride of being a company, do not realize that their employees are under challenged and would be more productive with a shortened schedule. Quite often, the employees feign busywork, aware of the expectation to appear busy. But many positions simply do not require much time. The only reason they are full-time positions is tradition has made them so. Ignore that expectation, and ask yourself, do I really need this position to be full-time?

If the answer is yes, look again. Imagine yourself in the position for which you are hiring. Would you be busy every day, for 8 hours? Or would your work come in seasonal loads, at times high, other times a mere trickle. Also ask what your emotional motive may be in hiring another person. Sometimes small business owners are lonely, and just want more people around. Could this be the case? If so, is there another way you can satisfy that social need?

Perhaps part of you balks at the idea of leasing an employee. You want to provide your employees with full-time, steady work and health insurance–the whole bit. If this is you, consider that employee leasing may be doing the employee a favor. They are getting experience at your company, without danger of losing their job. It is better to lease an employee than to hire them full-time and lay them off six months later when you realize you don’t need them much, or can’t afford them. Staff Leasing can be win-win for all parties.

Have a nice day!
