The labor rates quoted are based on a wide range
of personnel availability and considers all factors including
experience, education and present location. The hourly labor rates
quoted are the average prevailing rates for the levels of expertise. In
servicing your needs we are committed to delivering the most highly
qualified personnel at the lowest available hourly rate.
Markup
There are three distinct costs areas utilized to
compute total percentage of markups on base labor:
1.) direct labor related costs include payroll taxes, holidays, vacation
bonuses and insurance;
2.) general and administrative costs include all corporate, regional and
branch office charges including management, accounting, recruiting and
administrative costs;
3.) profit is computed cumulatively.
The above includes liability and Workmen's Compensation insurance for
engineering, design, office or administrative personnel.
Per Diem
TPG Oil, Gas & Energy, Inc.
(TPG)
personnel are paid a daily per diem based on a seven-day week when they
perform on temporary assignments more than 50 miles from their permanent
residence. This includes all customer holiday or temporary shut-downs.
Recruiting
TPG Oil, Gas & Energy, Inc. utilizes
various sources for recruiting and retaining top quality, dependable
contract employees. These sources include referrals from clients,
coworkers and classified advertisements. TPG will respond to your
request for contract employees immediately by putting our recruiting
resources to work for you.
Reference Checking
Thorough reference checks are performed on all
prospective employees. Former employers are contacted by mail and/or
phone to conduct these performance checks. Under no circumstances are
prospective employees hired or placed on assignments without proper,
positive reference responses. |
Holiday and Vacation Bonus
There are six paid holidays: New Year's Day,
Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas.
When clients observe additional holidays, we ask that, when feasible,
consideration be given to allow TPG employees to work. TPG eligible
employees are paid 40 hours of vacation at their straight time rate
after completing 2,080 straight time hours worked. Holiday and vacation
bonus expenses are included in the markup and not billed separately to
the customer.
Straight Time/Overtime
Straight time billing rates are based on a work
week of 40 hours. Overtime billing rates apply to hours worked in excess
of 40 hours per week and/or eight hours per day, whichever is
applicable.
Time Cards/Billing
Personnel are paid on a weekly basis, and are
required to submit a time card with client signature. Unless otherwise
specified in contract agreements, TPG will bill clients on a weekly
basis.
Permanent Employment
Personnel on contract can be converted to
permanent employees at no charge to client after six months for contract
employment. Additionally, any contract employee of TPG that terminates
employment with a client prior to three months, cannot be hired direct
or on contract for a period of six months following termination. The
client may be required to pay a placement fee to TPG should client
directly or indirectly employ employee within that six month period.
Payrolling
Payrolling can be a cost-effective method of
adding staff not allowed in department budgets. Payrolling is not
employee leasing, and it is not temporary help. You select the people,
you determine the salary to be paid, and you dictate the length of the
assignment. These employees are on TPG's payrolling program, and they
are ready to work. You avoid the cost of administrative paperwork,
payroll taxes, Workmen's Compensation, unemployment liabilities and
employee benefits. |
