ASA Online Active Membership Application

Code of Ethics and Good Practices

ASA members agree to abide by the association’s Code of Ethics and Good Practices. Any violation of the code may result in the loss of ASA membership.

Qualifications for Membership

A firm must be operated on a for-profit basis as a separately identifiable entity that provides temporary help or other staffing services to third parties and does not charge its employees a fee for placing them in jobs. A company must be open for business and actively placing employees on assignment in order to join ASA.

Only the headquarters office of a staffing firm may become an active member. Active members are entitled to one vote at all ASA membership meetings. All branch, franchised, and licensed offices of active members will be designated as nonvoting affiliate members. These offices may be eligible to receive ASA publications at no extra charge. Please contact ASA for further information.

No staffing firm shall be eligible for ASA membership unless dues are paid based on all staffing firms that operate, have an ownership interest in, or are under common control with the applicant firm. Ownership does not include ownership of less than 2% of a publicly traded company. Companies that provide staffing services and operate outside the United States are eligible for international membership. Associate membership is available to companies that provide products or services to the staffing industry.

Membership Year

Membership is based on the calendar year Jan. 1 to Dec. 31.

Dues Calculation

ASA dues are based on total U.S. revenues attributable to all staffing services provided during the staffing firm's most recently closed four fiscal quarters. Revenues include total sales of branch, franchised, or licensed offices, or similar entities in which the staffing firm or its principals have an interest.

Dues Verification

To ensure the accuracy of member dues, ASA may ask members to provide supporting information. ASA's outside accountant, Tate & Tryon, will notify members selected for dues verification. All information provided will be kept strictly confidential.

Tax Deductions

Dues and other contributions or gifts to ASA are not tax deductible as charitable contributions; however, they may be tax deductible as ordinary and necessary business expenses. Federal tax law disallows deductions related to certain types of lobbying and political activities. While most of ASA's lobbying and political activities are not subject to this limitation, ASA estimates that in 2009, 8% of dues revenue will be used for activities that cannot be deducted. Therefore, 92% of your dues may be deductible as a business expense for federal tax purposes.

Code of Ethics and Good Practices

ASA members agree to abide by the association's Code of Ethics and Good Practices. Any violation of the code may result in the loss of ASA membership.

Administrative Procedures

To protect the integrity of your firm's membership record, all changes in address and contact information must be submitted in writing to ASA.

If you have any questions, please call 703-253-2020 or send an e-mail to membership@americanstaffing.net.
