Why You Should Never Sign a Staffing Contract Without These 5 Verifications 🐷💼

Oh honey, you wouldn’t walk the red carpet without checking your reflection, and you absolutely shouldn’t walk into a staffing contract without doing your due diligence either. Trust me, what you don’t verify can bankrupt you faster than a diva without a glam team.

Staffing fraud is the scam that just keeps scamming. You think you’re hiring help, but if you don’t check the fine print (and the not so fine details), you might be buying yourself a lawsuit in a pantsuit. These agencies will promise you the moon, then disappear when a claim hits the ground, and you’re left holding the glittery, liability ridden bag.

So what must you verify before signing on that dotted line? Well, I won’t list them all here (I’m a star, not a spreadsheet), but let’s just say if you’re not personally confirming workers’ comp with the carrier, checking payroll compliance, inspecting classification codes, verifying legal entity names, and demanding proof of taxes paid, then darling, you’re not vetting, you’re dreaming.

Too many businesses get dazzled by discount rates and “trust me” smiles. But those savings? They disappear faster than your confidence in a backless dress with no fashion tape.

So before you sign anything, pause, verify, and channel your inner diva. Because Miss Piggy never trusts a contract without checking every angle, 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.

Piggybacking, A Fraudulent Tail (and Tale) in Workers' Comp 🐷💼

Oh, darlings, do pull up a chair because Miss Piggy has a scandal to unravel that’s juicier than a gossip column and dirtier than a pigsty. It’s the sordid tale of piggybacking, a fraudulent scheme in workers’ compensation that’s turning the staffing industry into a circus of greed and deceit. And let me tell you, the stars of this show aren’t just shady; they’re downright villainous. Now, for the uninitiated, piggybacking isn’t some cute term for teamwork. No, no, it’s when a staffing agency skips out on buying its own workers' comp insurance and instead borrows another company’s policy like a bad houseguest who never leaves. These fraudsters, the so called Piggybackers, parade their fake certificates of insurance (oh, the audacity! 🐽) while unsuspecting workers and businesses are left footing the bill when things go south. Take Mike Ersling, for instance, a name that deserves its own place in the fraud hall of fame. This porky perpetrator shoved $300 million of payroll ...
