MyWorkChoice is a fully managed flexible staffing agency for light industrial, manufacturing, and distribution facilities.

We understand there is a lot to consider before requesting a demo with us. Here are some commonly asked questions and answers businesses ask. If you have any additional questions or would like to learn more please email a MyWorkChoice representative.


πŸ‘‰ How are you different from a staffing agency?

Traditional staffing companies operate on a model that does not meet the expectations of today’s workforce. Every company wants the perfect worker that works 40 hours a week, works overtime when asked, and never leaves. That is not today’s reality.

Today’s worker wants flexibility. So, we give it to them by taking an imperfect workforce and putting them on the MyWorkChoice app to manage the flexibility we offer them. We also hire more people for each job. This allows us to give you what you’ve always wanted. A pool of workers available 24/7 that work together as a community to get the job done.


πŸ‘‰ Are your workers 1099 or W-2?

Every worker hired by MyWorkChoice is a W-2 worker. We do not use 1099 independent contractors.


πŸ‘‰ Do you E-Verify? What about background checks?

MyWorkChoice does E-Verify every employee hired.

We also perform client-specific background checks to work in conjunction with your hiring policy.


πŸ‘‰ My daily absenteeism is out of control. Can you help with that?

This issue is the primary reason we created MyWorkChoice. It’s a nationwide problem, with nearly 30% of your workforce not showing up every day.

MyWorkChoice uses data and technology to capture when your hourly workers are going to be absent and then backfills them from a local pool of on-call MyWorkChoice W-2 workers. We manage the entire process to establish your long-term, tenured, and flexible workforce.


πŸ‘‰ Does MyWorkChoice guarantee there will always be someone available to work?

We currently average above a 95% fill ratio nationwide with our clients. It’s difficult to add guarantees when working with people, but we do fill our orders more efficiently than any current traditional model that exists. Our advantage is having access to a larger community of workers dedicated to your site who are accessible 24/7 on their smartphones.


πŸ‘‰ When are Split Shifts Needed?

Everyone has workers that need time off, from a parent making it to a child’s soccer game, to needing time off to care for an aging relative. Instead of losing an entire day of work (or the worker altogether), allow them the option to drop half a shift, and let MyWorkChoice backfill for those hours. Problem solved!


πŸ‘‰ What industries do you service?

We have successful partnerships with clients in manufacturing, e-commerce, logistics, distribution, and call center environments. Curious if we could help in your industry?


πŸ‘‰ Are you in my area?

MyWorkChoice is currently servicing 21 states. Check to see if we are in your market.

Our ability to virtually recruit and onboard workers anywhere in the country stops the need for brick-and-mortar locations. We can hire and mobilize an entire workforce anywhere in the U.S.


πŸ‘‰ You keep mentioning community. What does that mean?

Community is the most important part of our concept. When we recruit, we hire two different categories of people. Full-time and part-time flex.

  • Full-Time Workers– Workers who need full-time hours, with the option to take days off without a negative impact.

  • Standby Workers– Workers that can put in 10-30 hours a week. They might not be able to work every day but can provide coverage for absenteeism and times when you need to scale up.


πŸ‘‰ How do you manage different skill sets in my facility?

When a MyWorkChoice employee is hired and onboarded, they are tagged inside of the app based on their skill set to ensure they are qualified for the position. Only those certified to work in a particular job can see the shifts they are qualified for and available.

This eliminates the opportunity for a worker to select a shift for a job that they cannot perform.


πŸ‘‰ Can I see who is showing up for every shift?

Yes. The best service that we provide to clients is their customized dashboard. From upper-level management to supervisors on the floor will have access to it.

You will see shifts being filled and who has filled them on a daily, weekly, and historical basis. You will also be able to view your orders, and individual timecards, and understand who is currently on-site at your facility.

This dashboard will be extremely helpful to anyone wanting to know who is showing up before a shift starts so that you can prepare resources.

All this information is available at your fingertips 24/7 in your MyWorkChoice client portal.


πŸ‘‰ Do I have to post the shifts myself?

You will not have to post shift schedules in the MyWorkChoice app yourself. Your dedicated Community Director/Manager will take care of everything - managing the app and data for you.


πŸ‘‰ What if the shift changes?

We have the ability to modify any shift at any time within the app.


πŸ‘‰ How does your timekeeping work?

We offer a timekeeping system through our app, or we can integrate into your system.


πŸ‘‰ Do you offer training for new workers?

We offer a completely virtual onboarding process based on your facility that gets applicants familiar with your operation and first-day expectations. Training for their specific role will happen on-site at your facility and is facilitated by your staff or by a MyWorKChoice trainer.

If you have any additional questions please email a MyWorkChoice representative.
