Competitive Wages
Our temporary employees are paid a minimum of $14.00 per hour by the employer. The wages for permanent employees are set by the employing lawyer or firm.

Temporary employees are not employed by the DBA nor are they paid by the DBA. PPS acts as a referral service, matching qualified individuals to member offices. Each member office is expected to pay the temporary employee directly, consider the temp as an employee and adhere to all appropriate laws and regulations as with any other employee.
