Misclassification of Workers
Labor Ready has also come under fire for misclassifying workers (for example, as clerical rather than construction), which has resulted in the company paying less money (and in some states, nothing at all) into state workers' compensation funds than would otherwise be required, a great deal of this is due to the lack of training on office staff in dealing with proper classifications needed. It has also been alleged that this conduct is systematic and intentional. The dispute is ongoing, but in an attempt to be unbiased, this page presents evidence in support of and against Labor Ready's business practices.

Famous quotes containing the word workers:
“In former times and in less complex societies, children could find their way into the adult world by watching workers and perhaps giving them a hand; by lingering at the general store long enough to chat with, and overhear conversations of, adults...; by sharing and participating in the tasks of family and community that were necessary to survival. They were in, and of, the adult world while yet sensing themselves apart as children.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
