45-55% of the hourly to what the employer pays. So if an employer is paying $19.20/hr for their temp then $12/hour is going to temp employee and $7.20/hr is the agency fee. A lot of the temp agencies are responsible for your work comp & other insurance. I only dealt with clerical/admin temps. This was just for the fee but when it was a temp to hire situation then you had to also do a buy-out and that depended on how long the employee had been temping for you.
