Questions from employers

Does a business need to hire someone afterward?

Any hiring expectation must be agreed to in writing for the specific partnership. An inquiry alone creates no hiring obligation.

Who handles wages and insurance?

These arrangements depend on the particular program and agreements. Work-Way cannot promise wage or insurance coverage through this website.
