A Workers’ Comp Advisory Firm Built Exclusively for California Staffing Agencies
Sixth Man exists to help staffing agencies navigate California’s Workers’ Compensation and employment landscape with clarity, compliance, and confidence. Our role is not to sell policies — it is to design structures that support sustainable growth.
Why Staffing Agencies Need a Different Workers' Comp Partner
We are not tied to a single carrier, platform, or employment model. Instead, we assess each agency’s structure, payroll size, risk profile, and growth objectives to identify the most appropriate Workers’ Comp and employment strategy — even when the best recommendation is to make no change at all.
What Sets Sixth Man Apart
Staffing agencies choose Sixth Man because our focus, structure, and incentives are aligned with long-term operational success — not short-term transactions.
We work exclusively with staffing agencies operating in California. Our solutions are built specifically for staffing risk profiles, payroll models, and compliance realities.
We maintain relationships across the Workers’ Comp and employment ecosystem, allowing us to present multiple viable options without being constrained by a single carrier or platform.
Compliance is non-negotiable. We ensure Certificates of Insurance meet WCIRB and client-specific requirements to reduce rejections and protect client relationships.
Our approach balances savings with long-term risk management, helping agencies protect margins without exposing themselves to unnecessary compliance or claims risk.
Solutions are designed to evolve as your agency grows — from early-stage placements through multi-state expansion.
We operate daily within California’s regulatory environment and understand how state-specific rules impact staffing operations.

Market Access Without Constraints
Sixth Man maintains active relationships across the Workers’ Compensation and employment services market, allowing us to evaluate options beyond a single carrier, platform, or structure.
Rather than defaulting agencies into a predefined solution, we assess multiple market paths to determine which structures best align with cost efficiency, regulatory compliance, and long-term scalability within California’s staffing environment.
A Long-Term View on Staffing Risk
Workers’ Compensation impacts nearly every aspect of a staffing agency’s operation— from payroll and funding to compliance, client relationships, and long-term profitability.
Our philosophy is that Workers’ Comp should never be treated as a standalone insurance decision. It is an operational framework that must evolve as an agency grows, restructures, or enters new markets.
At Sixth Man, we focus on building compliant, scalable structures that balance cost, risk, and flexibility—so staffing agencies can make informed decisions today without creating problems for tomorrow.
