Ohio Compliance, Without the Theater
Compliance is boring. So is a lawsuit. Every agency on TempGuru carries workers' comp, runs W-2 payroll, and meets Ohio's wage floor of $11.00 (2026, employers w/ gross receipts > $405k) without creative interpretation.
The gig-app shortcut works until the audit. Then it doesn't. Adults build systems.
- W-2 onboarding, every worker, every event
- Ohio state & federal tax compliance
- Workers' compensation coverage
- General liability insurance, named insured
- One contract across all 10 cities
