In-house Clerical and Administrative Program (ICAP) for Recruiters

Click here to go to the ICAP Setup Sheet.

Top Echelon Contracting has activated a program that makes it easy for recruiters to add clerical and administrative staff to their own office for short-term needs. You know how important it is to have support staff to delegate tasks to so you can focus on the important revenue generating tasks!

In a nutshell, Top Echelon Contracting employs the support staff you recruit and select through our In-house Clerical and Administrative Program (ICAP). This program is not for recruiters or their family members, agency owners, partners, etc. The clerical and administrative workers eligible for ICAP include: administrative assistants, bookkeepers, researchers, clerks, receptionists, and data entry personnel.

Top Echelon Contracting becomes the W-2 employer and handles all of the payroll, administrative, and legal issues. We also run a background check on the candidate you select.

What does it cost a recruiter?
ICAP will cost you $1.50 per hour over the cost of the workers' pay rate plus employer's payroll taxes and insurance. Below is a sample for an Ohio-based worker.

How does the process work?
The process is simple when you let Top Echelon Contracting hire the worker and assign them to you on a contract placement.

1. You call our office and ask for an In-House Clerical and Administrative (ICAP) Quote.
2. You recruit and select the candidate.
3. You complete the in-house placement "set-up" form on our Web site.
4. We will send you a Client Services Agreement for In-House Staffing.
5. We will send the candidate an Employment Contract and all the standard employment forms.
6. A time sheet signed by both the employee and you needs to be faxed to our office no later than 1:00 PM EST each Monday.
7. Payroll is processed weekly and paychecks/direct deposit notices are mailed out to employees every Thursday.
8. Your agency will be sent a Statement of Debit on Thursday of each week.  We will debit the total statement amount from the bank account you have previously specified in the Client Services Agreement for In-house Staffing.

That's all there is to it! But please note that Top Echelon Contracting does not recruit, so your agency is responsible for locating the clerical or administrative worker.

Is the person eligible for Benefits?
We offer health insurance benefits, dental, vision, life and 401K to your clerical and administrative personnel who work 30 hours or more per week.

NOTE: For technical, professional and healthcare contractors assigned to client companies, Top Echelon Contracting will automatically pay half of the Employee Only Base Plan Rate for contract employees. (That equals $119.00) But employees participating in the ICAP program in your office are classified differently. If your in-house employee elects health coverage, you will be invoiced (auto debit) an additional $119.00 per month to cover the employers' share of this premium.
