Employee leasing is anytime you enter into a contract with a staffing or employee leasing agency to lend you an employee to perform work for your company. Work responsibilities are typical to those of a regular employee at your business, such as customer service, executive assistant, marketing, and so on.
Examples of work provided by Employee Leasing Companies are Payroll Services, Insurance, Tax Services, and various Personnel Services.
