Unfortunately it would probably be very short term, 3, maybe 4 days for something like this (I've temped warehouses many times), usually not more than a week, most times, for short term help. And usually at $8.00/hour. $8.00/hour @ 40 hours = $320, take out the taxes and other stuff, you're left with about $272.00, possibly a little less, maybe a little more.Chances are, it would only be for about 3 days, then $8.00/hour @ 24 hours = $192.00, take out the taxes and you left with about $163.00 give or take a few bucks.So depending on what you're looking to get in return for your "help", you may owe LOR more money than you'd have been paid.This is not an actual fact for LOR or anyone, just a comment showing how using and being a temp usually works in this type scenario, and what the average pay is for warehouse help (in my area anyway) for short-term work. Long term usually pays better, anywhere from $9.50 and up to $12.00/hour depending on experience, company pay rates and other criteria also factors into these equations as well.Occasionally you will get the same rate of pay for a short term position, but it's rare.

We just do not have the staff to ship more than 100 orders a day this time of year.DanHey Dan, ever think of just hiring some TEMP workers through a local temp/staffing agency for a day or two or maybe a week or two to get all your orders out when you have these sales? You can usually get some "cheap" workers for a day or two, or even a couple weeks. I've worked through staffing agencies quite often, and most often temp help pay rates are around the $8-$10 an hour range for "short-term" employment to just help out with packing up items in a warehouse.Just a suggestion for the next sales event. (If you would want to do something like this.)I will wait for my stuff instead of LOR tacking on the cost of the temp employees.I think you have an option to ship faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also in the winter we pull people out of production to help with shipping.DanDan you have a very diplomatic way of handling things, I on the other hand call a spade a spade I to own a very succesful buisness and temp help is a waste of time and money the real smart people have jobs and the ones that don't well do I need to go any further, I would much rather wait for the right shipment to arrive rather than to be suprised when I open up the package and find somebody elses order.
