7.3 Temp Service – For custodial and food service staff shortages (3:05:06)
- Christine checked with Pinnacle as to how we could use their services for staff shortages. Our custodial staff have been doing double shifts and working a lot of overtime and are quite burnt out. We checked with Pinnacle and they charge 45% in addition to what we pay staff per hour. The 45% includes FICA, unemployment, work comp and medicare. Attached is some more information on how the program works. We could also use their services for food service a well. We would not be locked into a contract, just on an as needed basis.
