Eight Ways to Protect Your Staffing Company From Fraud

1.  
   1. Always meet prospective clients in person. 
   2. Never send an employee to a client site that you haven’t inspected.
   3. Always hand deliver your first invoice to your client’s AP department.
   4. Never employ someone that you haven’t met in person.
   5. Do thorough background checks on all employees, including and especially internal employees.
   6. Avoid payroll checks and if you insist on using checks always use positive pay.
   7. Investigate time cards submitted with large amounts of overtime.
   8. Never work through a third-party like a VMS firm without a guarantee of payment from the end-client.
