Frequently Asked Questions About TUMI Staffing

All TUMI Hospitality employees are W-2 workers. That means they receive full benefits including health insurance, dental insurance, life insurance, and paid time off. We do not place 1099 contractors. This employment structure is one of the core reasons our staff stay longer at properties and perform at a higher standard than staff from agencies that rely on temporary or gig workers.

TUMI staffs all core hotel departments in the Washington, DC metro area, including housekeeping and operations, food and beverage, banquet and events, reception and front desk, facility maintenance, and overnight kitchen. Whether you need room attendants, banquet servers, night auditors, or maintenance technicians, we can provide qualified W-2 staff across your property.

For ongoing staffing needs, TUMI typically deploys staff within 2-3 weeks. If you need emergency coverage for an unexpected call-off or short-notice gap, we can often provide staff the same day or next day from existing pools in the DC area. Contact us to discuss your timeline and specific staffing needs.

Some hotels operate under management companies that require approval before engaging a third-party staffing partner. TUMI has established relationships with major hotel management companies and can work directly with your management company’s VP of Operations if needed.

Your dedicated area manager is your main point of contact at TUMI. They visit your property every week, build relationships with your hotel team, proactively identify any issues, and serve as the direct liaison between your management and TUMI’s operations. This weekly on-site presence is a core part of how we maintain service quality and build long-term partnerships.

TUMI uses face-value billing. The invoice you receive is all you pay. There are no separate charges for payroll taxes, workers compensation, or employee benefits on top of our bill.
