Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Required injury coverage for leased workers

Beginning 60 days after passage, either the employee leasing company or its client must maintain workers’ compensation insurance for leased employees. Leasing companies contractually responsible for coverage must show proof when applying for an original, renewed, or restricted license. Their insurer must be authorized to provide workers’ compensation coverage in New Hampshire. Unlicensed leasing companies cannot receive workers’ compensation coverage. A leasing company responsible for coverage can use no more than two policies. If it uses two, one must come from the voluntary market and the other from the residual market.

Liability protections for leasing companies and clients

Beginning 60 days after passage, both companies in an employee leasing arrangement receive workers’ compensation protections against covered injury lawsuits. These protections apply regardless of which company buys the insurance. Neither company is liable solely for the other company’s actions or failures to act. Direct liability under contracts between them remains possible. Other responsibilities imposed by the employee leasing law also remain.
