Employer Frequently Asked Questions
Where do you get your candidates?
ProLogistix employs several recruitment strategies. We
have a referral system that rewards our field employees for
referring qualified candidates. We attend and conduct job fairs and
maintain strong working relationships with local government
employment services. We also utilize the Internet in searching
for qualified candidates as well as for placing positions.
Do all candidates go through your screening
process?
Yes, all candidates will go through the screening process.
ProLogistix has standard
operating procedures that do not allow for shortcuts. Each office
is audited by our Training Department for adherence to this
process.
If I already have a certification process for forklift
drivers, do you require the training class?
Yes, our training class is required whenever our field
employee will be on a powered
industrial truck. Attending our training class helps to ensure the
qualification and skill matches have been done properly. It also
allows us to have more versatility in the placement process, so
we can place employees at companies that do not having a
certification process. This policy also protects our customers
from any co-employment issues that may arise. Most of all, it
ensures that ProLogistix is in compliance with OSHA standard
1910.178.
Do you place your employees only in warehouses?
ProLogistix concentrates on the logistics industry. This
is not limited to the warehouse
industry. We have positions in distribution centers, fulfillment /
order selecting companies and in various manufacturing companies
that may have a warehousing or shipping / receiving area associated
with their process.
How long before I can bring ProLogistix employees onto
my payroll?
The time is negotiated at the time of placing an order
with the local branch. Many
of our customers don't realize it, but we can show the cost benefit
in maintaining the ProLogistix employee for a longer period.
Who takes responsibility should there be an
accident?
ProLogistix field employees are covered under workers'
compensation for on-the-job injuries that occur while on
assignment. We may ask for help in gathering information on an
accident and participate in corrective action.
What is the process if there are performance issues with
your employee?
Should there be any items of concern with performance you
can notify your local
ProLogistix office. ProLogistix will work with the employee in
correcting the items of concern and with the customer's help,
develop a corrective action plan. Should a corrective action plan
not be an option, ProLogistix will work with the employee in
finding them a different position.
If I have a need for tomorrow will you be able to
provide someone qualified?
In most cases, yes. There may be some special
circumstances where finding the right
skill match is difficult, but with each office developing a
database of qualified candidates these occurrences are minimized.
ProLogistix does not believe in sending just anybody to your work
site. We pride ourselves on sending the right candidate with the
right skills for the right position.
How and when do your employees get paid?
Our field employees are paid each week. Each field
employee is responsible for submitting a time card on Monday before
noon. Employees may pick up their paycheck at the office, have the
check mailed to their home, or in some cases checks are delivered
to the customer location. In areas where we are piloting our Pay
Card program, pay is received through a MasterCard Debit
Card, which can be used at ATM and point-of-purchase
machines. Employees can also arrange to have their
pay direct deposited into their bank account.
What happens if your employee does not show up?
While these occasions are rare, from time to time we are
faced with this situation. All of our offices have a 24-hour
hot-line for our customers to call.
