What is an employer's obligation? A legal guide for hiring contingency workers

Article Abstract:

Contingency workers are classified into interns, temporary employees, independent contractors, contract employees or cooperative education students. According to the employment discrimination laws implemented by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the employer's obligations depend on the outcome of the review to be conducted by the agency on the worker's relationship with the staffing firm. For instance, independent contractors are not protected by the law. In contrast, contract workers and interns are considered hired employees and are protected by the law.
