Employee leasing is similar
to the process of hiring temporary workers, but the key
difference is permanency.
A company wishing to pursue
employee leasing will first contact a Professional
Employment Organization (PEO) to discuss its particular
employment needs.
The PEO or other employment leasing
company might set up an interview process
for recruiting new staff, or might take
responsibility for existing workers.
The
company can still participate in the hiring
process, but any hired personnel will
officially work for the employee leasing
company.
Wages and performance reviews
are under the auspices of the employee
leasing organization, not the original
companies.
Workers are not considered
employees of the company in a legal sense,
personal injuries and workers' compensation
claims become the responsibility of the
employee leasing agency. |
