Submit Your First ClaimThe Staffing Agency Cash Flow Crisis
Net-30 Turns Into Net-Never
Clients extend payment terms indefinitely while your agency fronts payroll. You've already paid workers—waiting on client payment tanks cash flow.
High-Volume, Low-Margin Squeeze
Every unpaid invoice compounds when you're already operating on thin margins with weekly payroll obligations. One bad client can sink profitability.
Client Relationship Paralysis
Fear of damaging client relationships keeps agencies from pursuing collections on valid debts. Meanwhile, unpaid invoices grow older and harder to collect.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, staffing disputes are our specialty. We handle timesheet hour disputes, rate disagreements, contract interpretation issues, and temp-to-perm conversion disputes. Our team understands staffing agreements, placement terms, and the nuances of billing disputes that make staffing collections unique.
We work with unpaid invoices from $5K to $250K+. Multiple smaller invoices from the same client can be combined into one collection case, making it more efficient and cost-effective. We'll evaluate any staffing debt to determine collectability.
Professional attorney-backed collection process often strengthens relationships. Many clients pay quickly once they receive a formal demand letter—it signals you're serious about payment. Relationship often improves when clear boundaries are established. Plus, we handle all communication, protecting your direct relationship with the client.
Writing off a $50K invoice costs you $50K in lost revenue. Our 15% fee on successful recovery means you keep $42,500. The math is simple: collecting 85% is always better than writing off 100%. Plus, writing off losses impacts your financials and credit.
We have primary operations in California but can pursue out-of-state debtors for California-based staffing agencies. Many staffing agencies work with national clients. Let us know the debtor location and we'll assess options for collection.
Provide: signed staffing agreement, approved timesheets (or copies your team has), invoices sent to client, any payment history or correspondence about the debt. The more documentation you have, the faster we can assess and act. Even partial documentation is enough to get started.
No upfront costs, no retainers, no hidden fees. You pay us 15% only when we successfully recover your money. If we don't collect, you don't pay. This means we're financially aligned with your success.
Timeline depends on dispute complexity. Simple payment refusals often settle within 2–4 weeks with a demand letter. Hour/rate disputes typically take 30–60 days while we gather documentation and negotiate. Complex cases may take 90+ days. On average, staffing agencies see recovery within 30–45 days.
Stop Fronting Payroll for Clients Who Won't Pay
Every day you wait, cash flow gets tighter and the debt gets harder to collect. Let us handle it—no upfront cost, 15% contingency, proven staffing industry expertise.
