GENERAL INFORMATION
The Company is a niche supplemental staffing company focused
in the areas of Information Services, technology, office automation, medical
office support and light industrial. It provides supplemental staffing services
to businesses, educational institutions, professional and service organizations,
healthcare facilities, federal, state and local governmental agencies and others
in the United States. In addition, the Company supplies payroll, billing and/or
financial support services to independently owned and operated supplemental
staffing firms, provides supplemental laboratory staffing support to the
scientific community and provides confidential consulting and payrolling
services, permitting clients to utilize former 1099 independent contractors and
consultants.
The Company assists clients in meeting peak workloads,
handling special projects, overcoming personnel shortages and solving staffing
emergencies by supplying them with a supplemental work force. Supplemental
staffing assignments range in duration from days and weeks to many months.
Planned use of supplemental staffing affords economies and flexibility to
clients by permitting the hiring of only such permanent employees as are
required for the basic day-to-day workload. As clients pay only for actual hours
worked by supplemental staff, the cost of such personnel is directly related to
production and work flow. Use of services provided by the Company on a routine
basis also eliminates or reduces clients' recordkeeping, payroll tax, insurance,
benefits, hiring, training and turnover costs.
The Company's principal executive offices are located at 415 Crossways
Park Drive, Woodbury, New York 11797. The Company's telephone number at such
