Healthcare projects ask more of a team. Alongside technical skills, your hiring brief should address patient privacy, secure access, and the way information moves through your organization.

What kinds of roles can you help with?

Our areas include software and web development, cloud and network services, data analytics, financial reporting, and health technology. Share your job description so we can discuss the fit and availability.

Do I contract with ACERS-ED or the worker?

Your organization contracts with ACERS-ED, and the assigned professionals are our employees. ACERS-ED handles payroll, employment taxes, and benefits administration. You direct their day-to-day work, approve timecards, and pay the agreed hourly contract rate.

Does our organization need to administer benefits?

No. During a contract assignment, the professional is employed by ACERS-ED. We administer payroll, employment taxes, and benefits under the applicable employment terms. Your organization pays the agreed contract rate rather than administering a separate employee benefits package for the assigned professional.

Can we start with a short-term or part-time need?

Yes. We discuss fixed-term, part-time, and ongoing arrangements. Availability depends on the role, location, schedule, and candidate. Hourly rates and payment terms are agreed before the engagement.

What if an engagement needs to change?

Contact ACERS-ED to discuss concerns or changing requirements. We work with you on next steps, which may include identifying a replacement, subject to availability and your contract.

Where can I learn about CPT, OPT, or H-1B?

Our work authorization page introduces these pathways and links to official resources. Eligibility and authorization depend on the individual and the engagement.
