“They share any information that’s available concerning our business or things that might affect our business. And I think they also are very effective in helping you understand why you need to look at things differently if you’re not looking at them the right way.

Conference Season Begins! How Getting Involved Can Help Shape the Staffing Industry

March kicks off the 2023 staffing industry conference season, and we’re excited to get back out on the road to attend both national, regional, and state conferences throughout the U.S.

Not only are conferences a great way to connect with colleagues and gain valuable insights into our industry, these events are also integral to enabling staffing owners and professionals to more effectively advocate for our industry.

It's often at these conferences (and the upcoming ASA Staffing Law Conference is a great example) that potential new legislation and how it could impact the staffing industry is often discussed. Staffing company owners are then armed with the information they need to make their support or dissent known to their respective government representatives. Your voice can be a powerful tool in shaping the legislation that can directly impact the future of our industry.

Important Year-End Tax & Wage Updates


As 2022 ends, we are preparing for the new year with an eye on the ever-changing industry landscape. One thing that can help your staffing company be prepared for 2023 is to be up-to-date on important changes to wage and tax laws.

We’ve assembled a list of the top wage and tax changes for 2023. From minimum wage increases, to Federal tax changes, to Earned Income tax credit notice requirements and more, we’ve collected the information you need to face 2023 with confidence.

Earned Income Tax Credit Notice Information:

Making a Difference

The TRICOM Client Conference was a success thanks to our wonderful clients and sponsors who came, participated, shared their insights, and were just generally awesome.

Our team was excited to have the opportunity to spend time with them while sharing our hometown, connecting with our partners, and learning together.

We extend our thanks to everyone who attended, our sponsors, our speakers, and our employees – each of you played a critical role in making the TRICOM 2022 Client Conference a resounding success!

There was one aspect of the conference of which we are particularly proud. During the conference, CEO Julie Ann Bittner decided to have attendees and sponsors participate in a water filter build she had learned about earlier in the year while attending a conference herself.

“Social responsibility is very important to me along with educating others about social responsibility and the impact we can make in our community and our world,” explains Julie Ann.
