Employment by temporary help contracting firm

(1) (a) For the purposes of this section, "temporary help contracting firm" means any person who is in the business of employing individuals and, for compensation from a third party, providing those individuals to perform work for the third party, under the supervision of the third party. (b) Repealed. (2) Employment with a temporary help contracting firm is characterized by a series of limited-term assignments of an employee to a third party, based on an agreement between the temporary help contracting firm and the third party. A separate employment agreement exists between the temporary help contracting firm and each individual it hires as an employee. Completion of an assignment for a third party by an employee employed by a temporary help contracting firm does not, in itself, terminate the employment agreement between the temporary help contracting firm and the employee. (3) (Deleted by amendment, L. 94, p. 637, § 3, effective July 1, 1994.) (4) At the time of hire a temporary help contracting firm shall provide written notice to each employee which clearly states that the employee is required to contact the firm upon completion of an assignment. (5) If an employee of a temporary help contracting firm receives the written notice pursuant to subsection (4) of this section and does not contact the firm upon completion of an assignment in compliance with such written notice, such employee shall be held to have voluntarily terminated employment for purposes of determining benefits pursuant to section 8-73-108 (5)(e)(XXII). (6) If an employee of a temporary help contracting firm contacts the firm upon completion of an assignment in compliance with subsection (4) of this section and does not continue employment in a new assignment, such employee shall be considered separated under the provisions of section 8-73-108 (4)(a).
