How do I submit my timecards?

Staffing the Universe has a variety of methods of timekeeping and they are usually client specific. If you need assistance, please reach out to our Payroll Department at Payroll.Questions@staffing-the-universe.com.

How do I get paid?

It's Simple! During the onboarding process, our team will walk you through setting up how to get paid. Here at Staffing the Universe, we value our employees at the highest levels. We firmly believe that people are our most important asset. It is with this sentiment in mind, that we make getting paid, as easy as possible. We run all of our payroll internally on our proprietary in-house system. This provides our employees with 3 major advantages to keep them satisfied: 1) flexibility in getting paid; 2) personable customer service; 3) rapid processing of payments.

What payment options do you support?

Direct Deposit is the most common and secure method of payment. Once we release funds, they are available in your chosen bank account the following day.
With Cash Cards, no bank information is required for access. For security purposes, each user is given a Personal Identification Number (PIN) and we send you a cash card for easy use. This Card is accepted at hundreds of thousands of ATM’s around the world and the first transaction per pay period is free. There are many other benefits our team can talk with you about!
We generally discourage issuing Traditional Checks, as we have no control over the postal service and mailing timeframes. However, we can accommodate paper checks by mail to ensure that you get paid.

If I work at a client's site, am I their employee?

No, actually. What’s important to understand is that you are an employee of a Staffing the Universe company throughout the period of your assignment. You don’t work directly for our clients or other entities that may be overseeing the projects. You assist them as a professional on behalf of our organization. We pay you and we handle all of your employment needs directly. So, if you ever have questions about your job or any aspect of your employment, always direct them the Human Resources team (HRSupport@staffing-the-universe.com).

What happens when my assignment with a client ends?

The job may be temporary or project-based, but our attention and assistance during your assignment are not. Even when you’re on site elsewhere, we’re available to help. Think of us as a full-service HR concierge service, with friendly and supportive people who are always a phone call or email away. As far as we’re concerned, you’re not just a temp or a contractor or a contingent worker. You’re an expert with a specific set of important skills who’s being engaged to support a company’s full-time staff with work they can’t complete alone. Even when your assignment with one client ends, we always look to place exceptional and proven talent into other programs.

Okay, so what is Staffing the Universe?

Until 2019, the Block family had a variety of highly focused and specialized staffing agencies.
