Frequent Contract Placer Program

The Frequent Contract Placer Program (FCP) allows recruiters to earn “cash-back” points based on recruiter income (commission) earned on contract placements made through our office. You can earn up to 3% more in contract placement income. This program costs you nothing to participate. Sometimes in this business all you need is a little encouragement to get you going. This program was designed to give you that extra encouragement!

Purpose

Top Echelon Contracting (TEC) offers this program to recruiters as an added incentive to utilize our organization as their contract staffing service provider of choice. We also want to encourage direct placement recruiters to add contract staffing to their business models.

Eligibility

Any recruiter making contract placements through TEC is automatically eligible to participate in our FCP. You don’t have to fill out an application to be eligible. Simply being a recruiter making contract placements with our organization qualifies you for the program.

How It Works

1. As you make contract placements through our office, TEC will keep track of your recruiter income (commission) earned on the contract placements through our back-office. If you have active contractors placed with us, we are already doing this.
2. As you accumulate your “cash-back” points, you will reach different award categories. The first category, Bronze, is reached when you have accumulated $20,000 in recruiter income (commission).

NOTE: Recruiters may not exchange, buy, sell, or otherwise commandeer points from other recruiters. If one recruiter leaves a firm, those points earned to date must be cashed in by that recruiter only. The spirit of the program is “You earn your own points, and you spend your own points.” The recruiter whose name appears on the setup sheets for a contract placement will accumulate the points for that placement.

Awards

The FCP will run from January 1st through December 31st of any given year. On January 1st, all FCP balances will be “zeroed out” and will not be carried forward into the following year. Awards will be passed out to all Top Echelon Network Members who attend the Top Echelon Network National Convention. If you are not a Member of Top Echelon Network, or are a Member who does not attend the National Convention, your award will be mailed in May of that year to the address you designate on the Redemption Form.

We have established five award categories: Diamond, Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze. The levels are based on recruiter income (commissions) earned on contract placements made through TEC.

NOTE: The IRS requires us to send a 1099 to each award recipient, unless the payee is exempt from such reporting. The 1099 must be sent for the year in which TEC issues the check. For instance, if you earned FCP points in the calendar year 2013, your award will be issued in May 2014. We will send your 1099 in early 2015 so that you can report this award as income for the calendar year of 2014. Please understand that TEC frequently endures stringent audits, so we will not postpone sending you a 1099 for any reason. We encourage you to withhold enough taxes throughout the calendar year to cover this additional earned income.

Top Echelon Network members

You do not need to be a Member of Top Echelon Network to utilize the services of TEC for your contract placements. But if you are a network member, you would receive Top Echelon Network FCP points on your split placements through the Network. TEC would take care of notifying Top Echelon Network in these cases so you receive credit for your FCP points. You would also receive your FCP points from TEC as well!

We look forward to your comments on the FCP. Please email us at info@topechelon.com with any comments, questions, or suggestions. Thank you for choosing Top Echelon Contracting as your contract staffing service provider!
