Start with the Executive One-Pager, then price the same workers four ways in the Cost and Conversion Workbook. That number is what moves the conversation.
What is inside
Taken from the kit’s own Start Here guide, so what you see here is what you open after checkout.
Also in the download: EXECUTIVE ONE-PAGER - Should We Convert Our Contingent Workforce (PDF, file 7), IC Agreement and SOW Templates (editable Word, file 11), Agency Partner Agreement and Rules of Engagement (editable Word, file 12), and Contingent Workforce Policy Template (editable Word, file 13). Every file is in the same folder, named with the number shown here so the steps below point straight at it. Open these in Word to change the wording for your own company before you use them.
How to use it
Step 1 is the Contingent Labor Cost and Conversion Workbook, file 3. Work down from there, and by step 4 you take the Markup Benchmark Reference.
Model the cost. Read the Executive One-Pager for the CFO summary, then open the Contingent Labor Cost and Conversion Workbook and price the same workers four ways: agency, payrolled, on your payroll without benefits, and fully benefited. The savings and breakeven reads set the agenda for everything after.
Decide the hiring path. For the roles you plan to fill or convert, the Temp to Hire and Direct Placement Decision Workbook compares direct hire, temp-to-hire, and direct placement, including the buyout schedule and when conversion becomes free.
Check the classification risk. Before converting anyone or engaging contractors, walk the three classification tests in the Classification Decision Guide and run the 1099 versus W-2 numbers in the Classification and Cost Workbook.
Fix the agency terms. Take the Markup Benchmark Reference, the Agency Scorecard and Markup Workbook, and the editable agreement and policy templates into your next agency conversation.
Before you buy
The point of a product page is to let you judge the work before checkout.
7 PDF guides, 4 Excel workbooks, 3 Word documents, each one named in the What is inside section above. The purchase is a download, not a subscription, and the files are yours to keep.
Yes. The preview images on this page are taken from the current deliverable, so you can judge the structure and writing before buying.
The files are designed to be edited for your own internal operations. Review the included license and have legal counsel check decisions that require jurisdiction-specific advice.
Use the $149 Setup Session for one hour of implementation help on this tool. TrueStep HR does not offer broader consulting engagements. For a legal question, use qualified counsel.
Extend the system
These products address the next connected step in the same situation, operating method, or industry.
Put a real employee handbook in place for a small team. The foundation policies, the at-will language that protects you, and the few rules that carry real legal weight. No paying for a custom build, and no copying a stranger’s PDF.
Put every recurring HR deadline, posting, and record on one calendar with an owner and a date beside it. Run the audit once a year, and keep each record exactly as long as the rules require.
Put one written policy behind every AI tool that touches hiring or HR, and a risk check in front of it. Inventory the tools you use, then score each one Low, Medium, or High from five plain questions.
