Temp workers have the right to information
Temporary and staffing agencies must give their workers certain important information in writing before each new assignment. This written information, called a “job order,” must include, among other things:
- the name, address, and phone number of the staffing agency
- the name, address, and phone number of the agency's workers’ compensation insurance carrier
- the name, address, and phone number of the company where the employee will be working
- the job the employee will be doing
- work hours and pay
Sample job order forms are available on the DLS website.
Some charges are not allowed
Staffing agencies cannot charge workers for:
- registering with the agency
- getting work assignments
- drug tests
- CORI (criminal background) checks
- debit cards or other means of payment
- transportation that the employer requires the worker to use
- transportation costs that are more than 3% of daily wages
Other protections
The law also protects temporary workers from coercion, fraud, retaliation, and some other forms of unfair treatment.
