Co-Employment: Employer Liability Issues in Third-Party Staffing Arrangements

Protect your business. Staffing professionals and their clients need to know the facts about co-employment—the relationship between a staffing firm and its client in which each has legal rights and duties with respect to the temporary and contract employees that the staffing firm assigns to the client.

Co-Employment provides those facts and reviews the legal and operational implications of co-employment in many critical areas affecting the terms and conditions of employment, such as employee benefits, workers' compensation, and labor relations.

The new seventh edition of Co-Employment is now available. This essential ASA book is a must-have resource. It reflects changes in the law since the previous edition was published in 2007.

Because it is also a required text for the ASA Certified Staffing Professional™ and Technical Services Certified™ programs, you can order Co-Employment as part of a value-priced certification package.
