What term is used to describe employers such as temporary help agencies and employee leasing companies?

In workers’ compensation terms, the kind of employers that supply workers to other businesses through staffing or leasing arrangements are described as temporary help and employee leasing companies. These agencies hire workers and lease or assign them to client sites, remaining the employer of record for purposes of wages, supervision, and workers’ comp coverage, even though the day-to-day work is performed at the client’s location. This labeling specifically identifies that staffing/lease model, which is different from private individuals, nonprofits, or public entities.
