What type of screening do you require?
PSI is a drug-free company. We drug test and background check all employees prior to starting an assignment.
Do I have to provide my Social Security Number on the online application?
Yes. However, the information is transmitted via secure encryption and is kept confidential in our system. Your privacy is very important to us.
Do you provide transportation to work sites?
No.
Do I need to register separately at all your locations?

Do you give payroll advances?
No. Payments to direct deposit, pay cards, or paychecks (in rare cases) are available every Friday for most assignments.
How long is my application good for?
We keep your information on file for three years. However, if you have not worked or contacted PSI within six months for employment, you should update your information, then come to your local PSI office for another interview to complete your update.
What types of ID should I bring to my interview?
The government requires that you provide identification that establishes both your identity (picture) and your legal authorization to work in the United States. Many people bring a valid driver’s license (identity) and Social Security card (authorization to work), but there are a variety of acceptable options.
Can I use a printout from the Social Security office because I don’t have my card yet?
No. Sorry, but this is government policy—it states right on the printout that it is “not to be used for employment purposes.” We’re not allowed to accept it.
Does my ID have to be current?
Yes. We are not permitted to accept expired IDs.
Do I have to bring the originals of my IDs?
Yes. The government does not allow us to accept copies.
What information will I be given prior to starting an assignment?
We will give you all the information you’ll need. This includes what to wear, how to get there, what you will be doing, who to ask for when you get there, and how long we anticipate the assignment will last.
How can I view my Direct Deposit?
You can view your direct deposit, pay stub, and W-2 information online.
Can I stop my Direct Deposit and receive paper checks again?
No. You have the option of receiving your payroll on Pay card or Direct Deposit.
When are W-2s ready?
They are always ready as required by law no later than January 31st. W-2s will be available online.
What do I do if I am injured on a job?
Take care of yourself first, but please report any injury immediately to your supervisor at the client company and contact PSI as soon as possible.
Who do I call if I am sick or cannot report to work?
Please call your PSI office prior to the start of your workday, as well as the client company you are working at.
If I work this week, will I get paid this Friday?
After completing the week, turn in your time card the following Monday. You will be paid the following Friday.
What do I do if the job differs from what I was told?
Call your local PSI Recruiter to discuss any concerns with your assignment. Especially if a safety concern. You’re important to us; we do our best to make things go smoothly for you.
If I want to leave a job, can I just quit?
If you choose to leave an assignment, please work your full shift and then contact your PSI Recruiter in person or via phone. If for any reason you walk off the job during your shift without permission from the client company or PSI, your pay for that week may be reduced to $7.25 per hr (minimum wage) and you may not be eligible to work through PSI again in the future. PSI considers walking off the job as “voluntarily quitting/abandoning your assignment”, therefore, unemployment claims will be disputed.
My assignment is ending. What do I do to secure a new assignment with PSI?
Contact PSI immediately when you hear your assignment will be ending. If you are in good standing at your assignment and PSI, we will look for another position when the current assignment ends.
