CLE
ALL

This CLE course will guide employers and their counsel on the legal risks of using contingent or leased employees to fill temporary staffing needs. The program will specifically discuss the pros and cons of using contingent workers or professional employer organizations (PEO) and best practices for contracting such services to minimize potential liability.

Description

A business's legal obligation to its workers under federal and state employment and labor laws takes on added complexity when the company uses contingent labor such as temporary staffing agencies.

As employers await a ruling from the NLRB regarding joint employment, it is critical that employers and their counsel understand what may trigger an employment relationship for the business when using temporary workers. Regardless of whether a classification is challenged, the potential liabilities for misclassified contingent workers continue, including possible traps concerning workers' compensation, taxes and employee benefits.

Complicating these issues further is the introduction of the gig economy into temporary staffing with app-based companies such as Wonolo, that will match willing workers to temporary employers.

Listen as our distinguished panel guides employers and their counsel on how to utilize third-party staffing agencies and PEOs without creating unwanted or unintended liabilities. The panel will discuss recent case law and best practices for contracting with third-party staffing agencies.
