FAQ
While leased employees are legally employed by a PEO, they work under the day-to-day management and supervision of the leasing business — much like any other employee. This generally gives the leasing business control over how they spend their time, which tools they use to perform their work, their deadlines, and more.
Employee leasing is an arrangement between a business and a staffing firm, who supplies workers on a project-specific or temporary basis. These employees work for the client business, but the leasing agency pays their salaries and handles all of the HR administration associated with their employment.
Leased employees may be eligible for benefits through the leasing agency that employs them.
First, let's define employee leasing. Also known as a temporary employment arrangement, employee leasing is the practice of supplying new workers or contractors to a client, usually temporarily. Often, employee leasing is for work on a specific project with a start and end date.
A PEO, or professional employer organization, has a different relationship with client companies. Instead of being a firm that leases employees to their clients, a PEO becomes an employer of record for the client's employees. This is known as a co-employment agreement.
PEOs commonly become the employers and “lease back” the company's employees on a long-term basis. PEOs that “lease” employees to customers may then be able to procure things such as group benefits and workers' compensation coverage at reduced rates, due to their larger numbers of employees.
California law has stipulated the requirements for classifying an employee as a temporary agency employee. These requirements include the right of the agency to assign and reassign a worker, but the workers have the right to refuse an assignment and remain on the agency's hiring list.
Drawbacks of employee leasing Less control: One of the greatest risks of employee leasing is that you're delegating an important part of your business to an outside company that doesn't know your business as well as you do. You lose control of your processes, systems and benefits.
