UPMC temps treated unfairly and penalized for recruiters' lack of communication - Anonymous employee UPMC Employee Review

Temp workers treated poorly in many depts, though not all. Majority of temp recruiters refuse to respond to multiple emails requesting new job availability, even when temps email them dozens of times a month, many times going 3 months with no response from a recruiter. Then with new policy as of June 1st, if a temp doesn't work in 3 months they can be terminated, as though they refused to work. Temp management makes excuses. Temps terminated by letter, then a few days later their payroll records and email accounts are deleted without warning. Calls to management are often ignored. Temps are now penalized when recruiters don't contact them and won't respond to employees' multiple emails. Also even after working as a temp for over a year or more, temps don't get insurance, vacation or even paid holidays.
