Employers FAQ

What does it cost?

There is no charge to be registered with SOS. When you request one of our skilled trades workers or labourers, you are simply billed the hourly rate times the number of hours worked, allowing you to pay for productive hours only. Our rates are fully inclusive with WCB costs and Taxes Accordingly.

How does SOS Labour Leasing  hire its skilled employees?

We have full-time trade recruiters that have no less than 5 years of industry experience who use traditional advertising, networking, and referral programs.
We have developed a rigorous screening process that includes in house testing, training, references checks and an in person interview that is designed to weed out less qualified workers and allow us to identify and hire the best!

How do you access our Workforce?

Simply call your SOS Representative or the our corporate office with a detailed description of what you are looking for and we will select the proper and most qualified candidate for you. You will then be advised of the person’s qualifications and bill rate.

When should you call SOS?

Planning is the key to productivity and getting the correct and qualified worker. Your SOS Representative will work with you to help plan out your labour needs. A few days’ notices are best to get the right person to your projects, however, if you have a crisis management situation, give us a call and we will do everything possible to make it work for you!

How can we claim to have one of the most qualified Canadian workforces?

Once our skilled trades workers and labourers are hired, we constantly look to you and our partners to evaluate the performance of our employees. We keep only those that qualify and maintain the high standards and expectations we set out for our clients. Our employees and the entire staff of our organizational chart at SOS Labour Leasing know the importance of our business and that our work speaks for itself. So our merit-based philosophy entices our employees to do their best to provide superior customer service at all times.

What about a labor satisfaction guarantee?

SOS Labour Leasing guarantees the worker sent to your Jobsite will be of the quality you expect and will have the knowledge you requested. If in the first 2 hours, you do not feel this is the case, simply contact us and you will not be billed for any time for that individual. If agreed by you, SOS will replace that worker as soon as possible.

Please feel free to call us if you have any questions.

Please Contact our Business Development Manager for any questions you have and he will be more than happy to accommodate your requests. Please feel free to contact us and any one of our Senior Management Staff and we will be happy to take your call.
