This bill amends existing law regarding the responsibilities of client companies in employee leasing agreements, specifically focusing on the reporting of separations from employment. It establishes that, despite any conflicting provisions in current law, the client company is solely responsible for adhering to the reporting requirements related to employee separations as outlined in R.S. 43:21-6. Additionally, the client company will bear full liability for any penalties incurred due to failure to provide the necessary information regarding these separations, as specified in R.S. 43:21-16.
The new legal language inserted into the law clarifies the responsibilities of client companies in relation to employee leasing arrangements, ensuring that they are accountable for compliance with employment separation reporting requirements. This change aims to streamline the process and delineate the responsibilities between client companies and employee leasing companies, thereby reducing ambiguity in liability and reporting obligations. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
