Temporary Employee Staffing

Fill workforce gaps immediately. We provide vetted, reliable temporary staff to businesses across Ontario—including but not limited to the GTHA, Durham Region, Peterborough County, and Northumberland County.

When to Use Temporary Employee Staffing

Temporary employees are the most cost-effective solution for scaling your workforce without increasing your fixed overhead. This solution is ideal if your company is facing:

Seasonal Spikes: Ramp up production or logistics capacity for busy seasons without long-term commitments.
Employee Absences: Cover maternity leaves, sick leaves, or vacation time to prevent burnout in your core team.
Special Projects: Bring in specialized skills or extra hands for a specific short-term initiative or backlog.
Variable Workloads: Align your labour costs strictly with daily output requirements, eliminating the expense of paying idle staff during slow periods.

How We Deploy Talent

We have refined our recruitment process over 30 years to ensure speed does not come at the expense of quality.

Profile & Consultation

We don't just take an order; we take a profile. We discuss the specific skills, safety requirements, and cultural fit needed for the role.

Sourcing & Vetting

We mine our database and recruit new talent. Every candidate undergoes interviews, reference checks, and safety verification before you ever see a resume.

Deployment & Orientation

We handle the orientation. Candidates arrive briefed on your site rules, PPE requirements, and shift times, ready to work from minute one.

Management & Payroll

We remain the employer of record. We handle all payroll, WSIB remittances, and T4s. You simply receive one consolidated invoice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum contract length for a temp?

We are flexible. Our minimum is 3 hours per shift (to comply with Ontario Labour Laws regarding reporting pay), but we can assist with assignments ranging from a single day of coverage to indefinite long-term contracts.

How much notice do you need to fill a position?

Ideally, we appreciate 24–48 hours of notice to secure the best possible candidate. However, for general labour and warehousing roles, we often fill “same-day” or “next-day” orders using our standby roster.

What if a temporary worker isn't a good fit?

We are committed to quality. If you are unsatisfied with a worker’s performance, please notify us as soon as feasible. We will immediately access our standby pool to arrange a replacement as quickly as possible to ensure your operations continue smoothly.

Who handles WSIB and payroll taxes?

GHRC is the legal Employer of Record. We manage the payroll, remit all taxes (CPP, EI, EHT), and cover WSIB premiums. You have zero administrative liability for these government remittances.

How is overtime billed?

We adhere strictly to the Employment Standards Act (ESA). If a temporary employee works beyond 44 hours in a week (or your specific industry threshold), overtime rates apply. We track this automatically and will detail any overtime hours clearly on your invoice.
