Markup-Based Pricing
Markup Based Pricing
Upshift does pricing based on markup. That means that we charge a % on top of the pay rate that you select. This percentage can vary based on state, position, and client credit score. This is very different from staffing agencies which often charge you just a bill rate with no visibility into pay rate. This incentivizes staffing agencies to charge you the highest bill rate and pay the worker the least amount they can get away with- leading to lower quality workers.
