NEENAH, Wis. — Since the recession began in 2008, the number of temporary workers has increased by 50 percent to over 3 million in the U.S. While the use of temps can be beneficial to a company, in many cases, the host company is considered a joint employer and can be held liable for employment law violations. To help host companies ensure compliance and reduce the risk of litigation, J. J. Keller & Associates Inc.® has introduced its Staffing Agency Compliance Audit. This in-depth review helps companies identify compliance gaps with regards to:
- Immigration and Nationality Act (employment authorization and unlawful discrimination).
- Fair Labor Standards Act (employee classification, minimum wage and overtime).
- Contract compliance (pre-employment screening, training and PPE).
In addition to its Staffing Agency Compliance Audit service, J. J. Keller has developed a free whitepaper, “Who’s The Boss? Joint Employment Liability When Using Temps,” to help companies reduce risk.
