Employers

We believe that workers deserve protection. We believe that they deserve flexibility. And we believe that they deserve benefits. That’s why 100% of Bluecrew workers are W-2 employees of our company.

Somehow (we’re not sure how!), some companies don’t agree with us. The world of temporary staffing - and on-demand staffing in particular - is split between companies like ours that offer the benefits and protections of W-2 work and others that prefer to classify workers as 1099 contractors.

To understand workers’ perspectives on these differences, our team recently surveyed a sample of more than 1,000 Americans. Check out our findings below.
