Report Link The Emerging New Workforce: Employment and Labor Law Solutions for Contract Workers, Temporaries, and Flex-Workers.
Littler Mendelson, P.C. - May 12, 2009
The current economic recession, characterized by former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan as the “longest and deepest” since the “Great Depression” of the 1930s, has immersed employers in a battle to reduce labor costs. In the instant era of downsizing, the principal focus has become immediate survival planning. Layoffs, overhead cost cuts, cost audits, and other efforts to simply remain afloat are the reality for management across the nation. But, unquestionably, another day is coming. Many economists now predict that the recession, which began in 2007, will end or be in its final stages in the second half of 2009.

Elarbee, Thompson, Sapp & Wilson, LLP. - May 04, 2006
With the continued trend toward using contingent or temporary workers, it is necessary to re-examine the risk of litigation. If you, as an employer, have relied on a staffing agency’s promise to “take care of everything” in deciding to use contingent or temporary workers, you may learn a costly lesson if you have not done your homework.
