Highlights

Staffing firms and their clients have a shared responsibility for ensuring temporary workers are treated fairly and in compliance with the law. Yet it is not uncommon for a client to end a temporary worker’s assignment following a workplace injury, a complaint of sexual harassment, or a request for a disability accommodation. To prevent legal exposure, preserve client relationships, and foster an inclusive and equitable culture, staffing firms must take proactive measures.

By cultivating a strong partnership rooted in compliance and understanding, staffing firms can not only protect their clients but also enhance their business relationships. This webinar will address the critical responsibilities staffing firms and their clients share in ensuring fair treatment of temporary workers. This session will provide actionable strategies for effectively responding to worker concerns, training staff to identify potential legal risks, and educating clients on their obligations. Lia Elliott of Staffing GC will explore real-world scenarios on handling sexual harassment, discrimination, retaliation, and leave concerns and give practical tips for favorably resolving these challenging situations. Don’t miss this opportunity to equip yourself with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate the complexities of employment law in the staffing industry.

During this webinar, attendees will learn

  • How co-employment risk arises for the client regardless of contract
  • Which scenarios commonly include risk and each party’s obligations are
  • Practical tips for getting clients to make the right decision
