Who would be sued in a wrongful termination, harassment or discrimination action?The hiring employer or the leasing company?
A. It generally depends on the contract between the hiring employer and the leasing company. The case law nationally suggests that the hiring employer faces the suit if it occurred at the workplace; the leasing company assumes liability if bad advice was given or if it involves activity that the leasing company was engaged in (i.e. malfeasance, fraud, etc.).
