Key Class Codes for Staffing Agencies
Florida staffing agencies are typically classified under code 7720 (Temporary Staffing — Clerical) or 7719 (Temporary Staffing — Light Industrial). Workers placed in construction trades carry the trade’s own class code. Roofing temps: 5551 ($6.752/100), HVAC temps: 5537 ($2.995/100), Clerical temps: 8810 ($0.105/100). Misclassification is the #1 audit trigger for staffing agencies.
Staffing Agency Audit Risk
Staffing agencies are audited more frequently than most businesses because payroll fluctuates and class codes are complex. A year-end audit can result in a large additional premium bill if workers were misclassified. Pay-as-you-go billing eliminates the audit risk by reconciling premium each payroll cycle.
