How to Ensure Your Staffing Partner’s Insurance Is Real (Before It’s Too Late)

Oh honey, nothing ruins a business relationship faster than a lawsuit wrapped in a forged Certificate of Insurance. One minute you're welcoming your new temp workers with a fresh batch of branded lanyards, and the next? You're sobbing over denied claims and wondering how on earth you got conned by someone with a clip on tie and a PDF.

Let Miss Piggy give it to you straight: if you're not verifying your staffing partner’s insurance yourself, you're not protected. You're hoping. Wishing. Flirting with fraud like it’s a cocktail party and you forgot your standards.

So what do you do, darling? It’s quite simple, and fabulously empowering. You pick up the phone and call the insurance carrier directly. Yes, you. Not their broker. Not someone’s cousin. Not a vague “compliance officer” you’ve never met. The actual carrier.

You ask:

Is this policy active?
Who does it cover, exactly?
What are the classifications listed? (Because warehouse workers coded as clerical? That’s a red flag with rhinestones.)

And don’t forget to confirm the policy matches the exact entity named on your staffing contract. A mismatch means you’re dancing with liability, darling, and that’s a number you don’t want to perform.

Remember, fake insurance isn’t just a paperwork problem. It’s a financial ambush. And once an injury happens or an audit lands on your desk, it’ll be too late to double-check anything but your bank balance.

So be bold. Be brilliant. And above all, be the kind of business diva who verifies before they sign. Because Miss Piggy never trusts a certificate that hasn’t been personally blessed by a real, living, licensed carrier, and neither should you.

The Fresno Fraud Family, Walstad’s Rebranding Fails to Fool the Law 🐷

Well, my darlings, it seems the tea is particularly scalding today! Mrs. Piggy here, ready to pull back the curtain on yet another act of audacious deceit. Enter stage left: Michael Walstad, now trying to reinvent himself as Michael A. Betrovian . Yes, you heard that right. The head honcho of the infamous Fresno Fraud Family has gone full-on undercover, slapping a shiny new name on his old, tired bag of tricks. But here’s the catch, no one’s buying it, least of all the law. Buckle up, because this tale is juicier than a watermelon on a summer’s day. Rebranding Gone Wrong Changing your name from Walstad to Betrovian might sound fancy, but it’s about as effective as putting lipstick on a pig. The Fraud Family’s trail of deceit is long, winding, and riddled with enough legal violations to fill a textbook. From skipping out on workers’ compensation insurance to cooking the payroll books, this isn’t just bad business, it’s outright criminal. The Laws They’ve Trampled Let’s unpack the ...

False Sense of Security: How Staffing Fraud Creeps In Through Compliance Gaps 🐷💼

Ohhh, my precious little overachievers, just because you have a compliance checklist doesn't mean you're safe. In fact, that clipboard might just be lulling you into a fabulous little trap. ✨ Because staffing fraud? It slinks right in through the cracks you didn’t even know were there. You see, fraudsters don’t break down the front door. Oh no. They glide in through the side entrance, flashing a pretty COI, a neatly signed contract, and just enough jargon to make your compliance officer nod along. And while you’re patting yourself on the back for your due diligence? They’re quietly torching your liability protections behind the scenes. Maybe you accepted a certificate without verifying it. Maybe you skimmed over payroll verification because they sounded “so trustworthy.” Maybe you assumed a broker wouldn’t dare risk their license. Darling, assumptions are where fraud sets up its dressing room. And when the lights come up and the lawsuits arrive, you’ll find out the hard ...
