Class code 8810-6 — Staffing Agency — Office Personnel
Internal office staff of a staffing or employment agency (placed workers are separately classified).
This classification covers the internal office staff of a staffing or employment agency — the recruiters, account managers, and administrative personnel who run the agency itself, separate from the temporary or placed workers sent out to client job sites. It's a professional-office classification focused purely on the agency's own operations.
The daily work includes interviewing candidates, matching them to client openings, negotiating placement terms, and handling payroll administration for the agency's internal team. This staff generally works from the agency's own office and doesn't perform the physical duties of the jobs they're staffing, which is why their classification is entirely separate from the workers they place.
Because placed or temporary workers are classified according to the actual job duties they perform at the client site — which can range from clerical to industrial — it's essential that agencies keep internal office staff payroll cleanly separated from placement payroll. The internal staff themselves face only standard office exposures: ergonomic strain, slips, and light travel for occasional client visits, keeping this code in the low-risk tier.
