Why it matters

The cost of unreliable gig staffing.

Contractors using gig platforms are frequently not held directly accountable. When people don't show up, it's your brand that suffers, not them.

Contractors on Gig Platforms

  • Absence of responsibility for missed shifts
  • Unreliable professionalism and presentation
  • Absence of direct employer supervision
  • 1099 misclassification exposure
  • Absence of workers' compensation insurance
  • Unexpected last-minute cancelations

W-2 Crews for OpalOps

  • Expertly planned, coordinated, and verified
  • Brand-ready, uniformed, and well-trained
  • Unambiguous employer responsibility
  • W-2 employment that complies
  • Liability and workers' compensation insurance
  • For larger projects, backup personnel are available.
