The bill amends Section 6 of P.L.2011, c.118 (C.34:8-68.1) to clarify the responsibilities and liabilities of client companies and employee leasing companies. It establishes that a client company is solely responsible for the quality, adequacy, and safety of goods or services produced, as well as for directing and supervising covered employees. Additionally, the bill specifies that a client company is not liable for the acts of an employee leasing company or covered employees acting under the leasing company's direction, and vice versa.
Furthermore, the bill states that covered employees will not be considered employees of the employee leasing company for certain liability insurance purposes, unless otherwise specified in an employee leasing agreement or other contracts. It also emphasizes that the client company is solely responsible for complying with reporting requirements related to employment separations and for any penalties incurred for failing to provide necessary information. The act is set to take effect immediately upon approval.
