Eligible Frontline Source Group temporary and contract employees receive medical benefit options, holiday pay, vacation pay accrual, and weekly direct deposit payroll. Most staffing agencies offer temporary workers none of these. Eligibility for each benefit depends on hours worked and assignment length, so your recruiter is the right person to confirm what applies to your specific assignment.
We have been placing professional talent since 2004, with 5,619 plus placements and 98.94% retention across 32 plus offices nationwide.
What Benefits Do Temporary Employees Get?
Weekly Direct Deposit Payroll
All Frontline temporary employees are paid weekly by direct deposit, with paychecks deposited every Friday. You set this up by providing your bank account information to your recruiter during onboarding. Weekly pay is worth noting on its own, since a good deal of the industry still runs biweekly.
Payroll questions go to payroll@frtline.com.
Holiday Pay
Eligible temporary employees receive paid time off for major holidays. Eligibility is based on hours worked and assignment duration, and the specifics vary by assignment, so ask your recruiter what applies to yours.
Vacation Pay
Temporary employees accrue vacation pay based on hours worked. You can use it for time off, appointments, or simply to recharge. Accrual rates and eligibility requirements vary by assignment. Your recruiter or the payroll department can tell you where you stand.
Medical Benefit Options
Medical benefit options are available to eligible temporary employees, and coverage may include medical, dental, and vision plans depending on hours worked and assignment length. Because plan availability and eligibility differ by assignment, contact your recruiter or email payroll@frtline.com for current enrollment information rather than assuming a plan applies to you.
Why Do Most Staffing Agencies Not Offer Temp Benefits?
Because it costs money and temporary workers are, in a lot of business models, treated as a pass through rather than as employees. The agency bills the client, pays the worker, and keeps the margin without carrying anything else.
We do it differently for a practical reason as well as a principled one. People who have benefits stay on assignment, and people who stay on assignment do better work for our clients. That shows up in our 98.94% retention. Treating temporary employees as disposable produces exactly the outcome you would expect.
Can a Temporary Assignment Become Permanent?
Often, yes. Our contract-to-hire model is built for it, and a significant share of our temporary assignments lead to permanent offers. That path works because both sides get a real look before committing: you see how the company actually operates day to day, and they see your work rather than your resume.
If converting to permanent is your goal, say so to your recruiter at the start. It changes which assignments we put you forward for. More on how assignments work is on our temporary staffing page.
How Do You Get Started?
Begin at how to apply, which walks through submitting your resume and what happens once a recruiter reviews it. Before your first conversation, our interview instructions are worth reading, and our candidate FAQs cover the questions job seekers ask most.
Once you are on assignment, our Candidate Ambassador program gives you a dedicated point of contact throughout.
Frequently Asked Questions About Temporary Employee Benefits
Do temporary employees at Frontline get benefits?
Yes. Eligible temporary and contract employees receive medical benefit options, holiday pay, vacation pay accrual, and weekly direct deposit payroll. Not all staffing agencies offer benefits to temporary workers, which makes this a meaningful difference when you are comparing agencies.
When do temporary employee benefits start?
It depends on the benefit and on hours worked. Some begin immediately and others have waiting periods. Your recruiter can give you the specific eligibility timeline for your assignment, which is more reliable than a general answer here.
How do I enroll in medical benefits?
Contact your recruiter or email the payroll department at payroll@frtline.com. They will walk you through available plans, eligibility requirements, and the enrollment process for your assignment.
Do I get paid for holidays as a temporary employee?
Eligible temporary employees receive holiday pay for designated holidays. Eligibility is based on hours worked and assignment duration, so check with your recruiter for the details that apply to your assignment.
How often are Frontline temporary employees paid?
Weekly, by direct deposit, with deposits landing every Friday. Weekly pay is not universal in staffing, so it is worth confirming when you compare agencies.
How do I set up direct deposit?
Provide your bank account information to your recruiter during onboarding. If you need to change your account details later, contact the payroll department at payroll@frtline.com rather than updating them informally.
How does vacation pay accrual work?
Vacation pay accrues based on hours worked. Accrual rates and eligibility vary by assignment, so your recruiter or the payroll department can tell you your current balance and what you have earned.
Can a temporary position become permanent?
Often. Our contract-to-hire model is designed for exactly that, and many temporary assignments lead to permanent offers. If converting is your goal, tell your recruiter at the outset, because it affects which assignments you get put forward for.
Why do most staffing agencies not offer benefits to temporary workers?
Because it costs money, and many agencies treat temporary workers as a pass through rather than as employees. We take the other approach for a practical reason as well as a principled one: people with benefits stay on assignment, and people who stay do better work for our clients.
Who do I contact about a payroll problem?
Email the payroll department at payroll@frtline.com. For questions specific to your assignment, such as eligibility timing or hours, your recruiter is usually the faster route.
Do benefits continue between assignments?
Continuation between assignments depends on the benefit, the gap length, and hours worked. This is one to confirm directly with the payroll department at payroll@frtline.com before an assignment ends, rather than after.
How do I start working with Frontline Source Group?
Start at our how to apply page, which covers submitting your resume and what happens next. A recruiter reviews submissions and will reach out about assignments that match your background and what you are looking for.

One caution worth repeating: Frontline recruiters will never ask you to pay a fee, buy equipment, or send money as a condition of placement. If you receive a message claiming to be from us that does, please read our scam alert page before responding.
