When operations need extra hands during peak periods with temporary warehouse agency personnel

understanding the tax consequences of this hiring model is essential

Unlike permanent employees, temporary workers are often hired through third-party staffing agencies,

which can complicate how taxes are handled

The third-party vendor typically deducts federal and state income withholdings,

and the required payroll taxes for Social Security and Medicare

directly from their compensation

The end-user employer is generally exempt from handling W-2 tax obligations

However, the company still has obligations

For example, the business must report payments made to the staffing agency on Form 1099-NEC

when the yearly aggregate surpasses the $600 threshold

Businesses ought to validate that the vendor meets IRS criteria for independent contractor status

and is not functioning as a de facto employer

Incorrect worker classification may trigger IRS fines and back tax assessments

Maintaining organized records of contracts, bills, and payment trails is critical

to substantiate claims during potential IRS reviews

Some states have additional rules regarding temporary labor

such as mandatory unemployment fund payments

as well as state-specific compensation coverage requirements

Companies are advised to seek guidance from a qualified CPA or tax advisor

Understanding these responsibilities helps avoid costly mistakes

and allows businesses to leverage temp labor as a scalable, budget-friendly option

without creating unintended tax liabilities
