At JPG Law, we understand the unique and complex challenges faced by contingent and temporary workforce providers. With over a decade of specialized experience, we offer tailored legal solutions designed specifically for staffing firms, temporary agencies, and contingent labor companies.

Specialized Expertise

Contingent and temporary workforce providers face distinct regulatory and compliance challenges compared to traditional employment scenarios. These challenges include:

• Worker Classification: Properly classifying workers as employees or independent contractors is critical. Misclassification can lead to severe penalties, wage claims, and regulatory scrutiny. We help clarify classifications, reduce risks, and ensure compliance with state and federal standards.

• State-Specific Regulations: Contingent labor providers frequently operate across multiple states, each with unique employment laws, such as strict wage-and-hour laws, mandatory sick leave, meal and rest breaks, and reporting requirements. States like California, Illinois, New York, and Massachusetts have especially rigorous employment regulations. Our in-depth knowledge helps providers navigate and maintain compliance in these challenging jurisdictions.

• Joint Employer Liability: Temporary and contingent workforce providers must manage relationships with host employers, making them potentially liable under joint-employer rules. We offer strategic counsel to mitigate such risks and clearly define employer responsibilities.

Strategic Compliance Solutions

Our proactive approach includes:

• Comprehensive Compliance Audits: Customized auditing frameworks tailored to your specific operational structure, ensuring compliance with state and federal employment laws.

• Detailed Risk Mitigation Strategies: Developing and implementing clear policies and best practices specifically addressing contingent and temporary workforce risks.

• Effective Litigation and Regulatory Defense: Experienced representation to manage employment-related disputes, wage-and-hour claims, regulatory audits, and investigations.
