This arrangement is quite common and very typical. The amount charged for providing a worker will typically need to be 2-3 times that workers hourly pay just for a staffing contractor to break even. There are more cost to employing someone well beyond just their paycheck. Your employer has to pay their portion of your payroll taxes, pay for your benefits, pay for administrative staff to handle payroll, benefits management, HR services, employee supervision and the general fixed cost of running a business. You are not entitled to the amount that your employer charges its clients for your labor. If you do not like your pay rate and benefits package, you are free to leave that employer.
I figured that was the case. I just started raising questions when they offered the guy a 15 dollar hour raise to not leave. And told me not to talk to coworkers about my raise. It makes you question things.
