Senate Research Center C.S.H.B. 1939

Committee Report (Substituted)
AUTHOR'S/SPONSOR'S STATEMENT OF INTENT
Existing law does not require that staff leasing service companies provide their employees with documentation that details terms of their employment after being released from a client company, which has lead to numerous employees being ineligible for unemployment benefits after being released from a position with a client company.
C.S.H.B. 1939 requires that staff leasing service companies provide written notification that states the terms and conditions of employment.
