How does it affect the Staffing firms?
• The Bill defines an assignment employee to mean an employee by a temporary help agency for the purpose of being assigned to perform work for an agency client on a temporary basis. • Staffing firms as of November 2009 will be required to give notice to any assignment employees whose work term is coming to an end. If notice is not given then termination pay must be paid out. The need to provide a record of employment to a temporary associate once each assignment is complete will greatly increase as the need to define an assigned employee becomes necessary. • Staffing firms must now provide written documentation to all associates about their work assignments. The worker must receive this documentation before they have begun the assignment. This will be quite challenging for those firms who work with asap client orders. • Bill 139 prohibits any fees being charged to an assignment employee in connection with registration, assigning them work and resume or job preparation.
