National Accounts
You’ll meet with your Area Sales Manager or the account team who will talk with you to assess
your needs, gain a deep understanding of your company and work with you to develop smart
strategies for using temporary labor to achieve your business objectives.
Over the years, we’ve developed a comprehensive, streamlined system that addresses all
aspects of providing labor. When you need temporary employees on a project, simply contact
your National Accounts team and we’ll take care of the rest. From consolidated reporting and
billing to our technology that enables you to order employees online and check your account

I-9 Compliance
Labor Ready aggressively enforces all US immigration and naturalization requirements. Branch

valid. We are working to become one of the first staffing companies in America to partner with
Immigrations and Customs Enforcement to achieve IMAGE certification. In addition to being
recognized by ICE as having best practices with regard to immigration compliance, IMAGE
certification comes with real tangible benefits such as respites from raids and enhanced I-9 training.

Federal and state wage hour laws are honored.

9. Success stories
from our customers
and workers.
Customer Stories
Lary Edgell, Hickory Farms -“The crew we had was very good. They arrived on time, took directions
very well, worked hard and looked for tasks constantly. We were able to unload the truck and
stage the product in just under an hour and a half. They were professional and seemed to really
care about what they were asked to do. Additionally, I had the area supervisor from Labor Ready
contact me during their shift to see how things went. The program worked great and made my first
set-up with Hickory Farms very smooth and efficient.”
Heartland Retail Construction -“When calling the national accounts 1-800 number the customer
service reps are pleasant to talk to. We are satisfied with the current ordering system, in fact,
that is one of the main reasons we are still with Labor Ready, and the convenience of having to
call one number or to go online and order is a great bonus and saves time.”
Trooper Transport -“Thanks to Labor Ready my business of delivering and setting up medical
equipment is booming. Not only has my gross increased, my net (the number that counts) has
doubled. Where in the past I had to pay one person to ride for 500 miles to a delivery and work for
4 hours and pay them to ride home now I’m sending one person out to do the driving and utilizing
Labor Ready for assistance once we get to the delivery city. That also allows me to use the other
person to make more deliveries somewhere else. Thanks again!”
Worker Stories
Helen Bush, Temporary Employee, Jacksonville -“I went to the Labor Ready office and filled out
an application. That very first day I went to work. They’ve been sending me out ever since. I would
work for all four temp agencies in Jacksonville, but Labor Ready was the most consistent at
finding work for me.”
Phil Paradisio, Temporary Employee, Fullerton -“The thing I like most about Labor Ready is they’re
behind me. If, for instance, I was laid off at a temporary job, they would work hard to find me
another job. There’s a lot of security in that. Labor Ready has allowed me the opportunity to get
back on my feet and get a fulltime job- a job I love.”
