“Shifter workforce” helps employers avoid the burden of ACA compliance; ShiftPixy revolutionizes the Gig Economy structure
Irvine CA – June 30, 2016 –ShiftPixy, Inc. is currently offering to help fellow employers use innovative solutions to avoid the many burdens created by the Affordable Care Act. Providing unique insurance products, regulatory compliance services, and proprietary human administration tools, ShiftPixy also lends out their private variable workforces to third party employers that have been forced to reduce the size of their organizations.
“ShiftPixy, not the employer, retains the workforce known as ‘Shifters’. All administrative and regulatory matters that accompany the hiring of Shifters is handled by ShiftPixy, totally removing that burden from its contract employers. Under ShiftPixy’s tutelage, these employers get the benefit of having a workforce without the regulatory burdens that normally accompany the hiring of that workforce. The employer gets to maintain workforce levels while providing Shifters the opportunity to receive ‘full time’ revenues and healthcare coverage,” states Scott Absher, CEO, ShiftPixy, Inc.
“The Affordable Care Act is affecting personnel decisions. A survey of more than 600 small business owners by the Society for Human Resource Management found that 20% of companies surveyed reported they have cut the number of workers they employ. Employers are not required to offer coverage for employees who work less than 30 hours per week. A related study found that 12% of employers’ nationwide are planning to reduce workers’ hours as a result of the ACA. By making the Shifters into ShiftPixy employees, we can now lend them out to the third party employers who are in need of additional workers,” continues Absher.
ShiftPixy has reported filing a Reg A+, the new SEC regulatory vehicle that allows non-accredited investors the opportunity to invest in a Company at an early stage (IPO). Previously, investing in pre-market IPO’s had been available to only a select few accredited or institutional investors.

ABOUT SHIFTPIXY, INC.
ShiftPixy, Inc. was created to take advantage of weaknesses in compulsory insurance markets where statutory requirements for business owners collide with the extremely limited access to the coverage and compliance they are required to have.
www.shiftpixy.com
ShiftPixy management is in the optimal position to intermediate a more effective solution to meet the needs on both the provider and shift worker sides of this new labor reality in the U.S. ShiftPixy has developed proprietary technology and client engagement processes that enable the Company to create high value on both sides of the U.S. shift work chasm.
ShiftPixy allows available and qualified shift workers to connect with immediately available shifts from participating ShiftPixy providers through a simple mobile application. Shift workers or “Shifters” can find shift opportunities within their skill set and geographic range, and pick unfilled shifts when they need the work.
ShiftPixy processes the entire workflow on the provider side from offering open shifts, approving a Shifter based on their rich profile, to processing the entire payroll, insurance and regulatory demands for each shift hour worked.
HELPING EMPLOYERS
In helping employers take care of their employees, we could see changes and decisions for employers that were resulting in fewer hours for shift workers but leaving gaps or holes in employers’ schedules.
SHIFTPIXY’S SOLUTION
- ShiftPixy was designed to sync work opportunities from job providers with the open time slots of available shift workers.
2. ShiftPixy manages relationships with job providers to take open shift opportunities that are filling their schedules and offer them as work opportunities to qualified workers without the formal job interview and commitments.
3. The ShiftPixy app allows shift workers to enroll, profile and prequalify based on their work and training experience for open shift opportunities. “Shifters” can earn provider specific qualifications to boost their score and access to more shift opportunities.
SHIFTPIXY ADVANTAGES
ShiftPixy has built a very robust platform that processes and manages over 50 essential and regulated aspects of the job provider’s human capital management demands.

Julia Montgomery / FSBDC @ UWF (Florida Small Business Development Center at the University of West Florida)
FSBDC at UWF
Our mission: The Florida Small Business Development Center at the University of West Florida – College of Business (FSBDC at UWF) delivers, through certified professionals, consulting, training and information to help businesses succeed and create a positive impact for the Florida economy, while providing value for our stakeholders.
Founded in 1999, Emerald Coastkeeper is one of 240 (and counting) member organizations of the Waterkeeper Alliance. We are a grassroots organization that monitors four main watersheds in the Florida Panhandle. Our mission is to investigate, educate and protect our right to swimmable. fishable and drinkable water. We believe that healthy waterways are directly connected to healthy communities and healthy people.
In our four watersheds, you will find many springs, creeks, rivers, bayou’s, bays and of course, the Gulf of Mexico.
Pollution can happen anywhere, not just from large industries. Some of the greatest concerns in our region stem from residential pollution.
Some of the more common culprits are septic system failure, erosion and sedimentation, nutrient loading from fertilizers, red tide, heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls, (PCBs) lead, mercury, animal wastes, industrial paint source discharge, oil spills, commercial vessel pollution, residential development, and household garbage.
Protecting our waterways and drinking water from contaminants is everyone’s responsibility. We can’t do it alone…we need your help!
Feel free to contact us if you want to volunteer or to report a problem. We look forward to creating a healthy community with you!
As an artist, I express my emotional response to being in a particular place at a particular time. My work invites viewers to become more than spectators, by re-experiencing the feelings and sensations nature evokes. When exposure light and compositional elements are manipulated, it is to suggest and communicate the energetic forces that pulsate beneath the surface and connect all of life. When I experience this energetic connection, a deep healing takes place, both physically and spiritually. Not only do I reconnect with the external natural world, I also rediscover my authentic self as I reflect on what my vision reveals about my internal nature.
Exploring nature is a very meditative experience that helps me understand my place in the web of life. Although existence and experiences are transitory, the photographic process transforms awareness by focusing attention on what is most significant and enduring. Capturing moments of genuine connection through photographs makes it possible to preserve and to share these experiences with people who may not have access to pristine natural settings or have lost the ability to connect with the transformational power of nature in a technologically driven society. My images are made situating myself fully within the web of life, instead of standing outside and capturing a subject, and invite others to become more empathetic toward all life forms and to achieve greater understanding of their position in our ecosystem. This way of being is the foundation of the cultural shift that is necessary to ensure the future viability of the planet.
Water has been important to me for my entire life, and as our rivers and waterways have become increasingly endangered it has become even more of a calling to document them through my photography. In high school, I got excused from school frequently to go test waterways for changes following big rainstorms and discharges. In college, I tracked dolphins and assisted in a project analyzing the aesthetic impact of pristine rivers. These days, I take my kayak or hike long distances into the environment to capture the photographs for my current exhibition at the South Florida Museum on Florida’s changing water and other environmental installations.

kids) — we are a drug free workplace so they will be drug tested —
we are also a smoke-free organization so if they are offered A FULL

always needs to find substitute workers willing to be on call — they
do not have to pass the nicotine test – but they can’t use tobacco on
campus —- CareerSource Escarosa has a smoking cessation program!!!
They could be hired part-time and work on quitting and then, when they
can pass the test, they can apply for a full time opening.
