sick of the distractions?
ready to focus on building your business? “ The constant cycle of staffing up, then layoffs, then staffing up again.” “ The cost of benefits is unaffordable. Legal fees. The rising cost of workers’ comp, health care and more.” Let us make labor work for you. Since 1997 Construction Labor Contractors (CLC) has been reducing headaches for construction contractors and industrial project managers by providing skilled craftsmen, flexible labor forces and HR management. With leased labor from CLC, life gets a lot more workable. Q. If these are skilled craftsmen, why are they working as leased labor? A. Our workers seek us out. They appreciate the variety of work, great benefits, experienced management, and the steady employment due to our dealings with multiple contractors. They can avoid changing employers to seek work, get off the hiring up/hiring down seesaw. Q. What’s the secret to having dependable leased labor on a job site? A. No secret – you need to work with the right provider. One whose business is built on the most ethical practices, recruits the best skilled labor, and backs it all with a guarantee. Q. If I hire a flexible workforce, will they be as good as my own employees? A. CLC has carefully built a workforce of skilled, positive employees – not temps. Skill levels range from helpers and apprentices through journeymen, with tested job-site experience. Q. What if you send me a worker that doesn’t meet my needs? A. There is no risk to you. With our First Day Guarantee, we won’t charge you for any worker that you find unsatisfactory, no questions asked. We will also promptly replace the worker. Q. How can I keep unpredictable labor swings from costing me money, and sleep? A. The difference between planned needs and your actual needs adds up to a lot of waste. Downtime and the pain of going through endless cycles of layoffs and rehires. With CLC, you have an experienced team that knows how to build a program for you. Q. How does leased labor work for me? A. With a detailed description of your needs, we use our state-of-the-art Workforce Administrative Management System to fully match the worker to the job. Q. Is leased labor affordable? A. Many contractors don’t account for the real costs embedded in everyone they hire. Some experts estimate that the real cost of a $15-an-hour employee may be much higher, due to HR costs, liabilities and administrative time-wasters. Let CLC take these overlooked costs off your plate.
Think beyond today. Think of having a workforce of skilled, experienced and positive workers whenever you need it. Here’s how it works.

CLC FlexForce
The skills you need, the flexibility you want CLC FlexForce provides skilled labor so you have a workflow that evens out surges and downtimes. You keep your core employees. The rest are flexible, employed by CLC. When not needed, they move temporarily to other customers. When you need them back, you’ll get them. There is no loss of existing benefits for the workers, since they stay employed by CLC. Without a flexible workforce, you’re a prisoner of business cycles and seasonality. You barely absorb the hidden costs of recruiting, hiring and employment before they become the hidden costs of reductions-in-force. You suffer from actual costs exceeding plan; from cycle times and layoffs; from labor dollars put at risk and scrambling to keep guys busy. The frustration and waste could drive you crazy. Wouldn’t it be better to work with an expert source who can design a program of skilled construction labor
delivered to you on a flexible schedule that meets your project needs? You plan for projects without worrying about whether you can staff up. You subtract labor when slow, add it back when needed. Your CLC representative will custom-fit your plan to your projects and business conditions.
Look what CLC can Deliver: Good performers and nothing but. We base skill levels on actual job performance, ongoing evaluation and merit. Only quality performers stay with us. Controlled HR costs. We leverage our buying power to lower insurance rates and our expertise to lower your risk exposure, meet workers’ expectations and maintain consistency. Our pricing structure covers wages, taxes, payroll processing, reporting, benefits and more – plus related expenses such as advertising, training, recruitment, and workers’ compensation. The true cost of labor may be the biggest expense you’re not capturing in your P&L. Wages and taxes are only the beginning – add benefits, admin costs, legal costs, and don’t forget your time taken away from making money.
