Contractor's Clearing House, Inc. started out as a company pooling small local contractors together in order to get not only affordable rates, but to help contractors become compliant with OR-OSHA regulations. Small contractors on their own could end up paying $2,000 to $5,000 deposit on top of the expensive cost of Workers' Compensation Coverage for hiring just one employee needed only for a short time. They also had the problem of minimum payroll requirements; if they couldn't meet these, it left them with no choice but to work in violation. Contractor's Clearing House allowed them to become "compliant" by leasing temporary workers and relieved them of all the paperwork hassles.

     The need locally for hassle free hiring in a variety of fields led to the evolution of Coastal Temps. Now small businesses, retailers, restaurants, ship yards, homeowners, etc. are finding the benefits of employee leasing. Perhaps its greatest benefit is that it enables a business to focus all of its limited resources on tasks that are central to the core business function.
