Professional Employers Organization and temporary service employers are employing units that contract with the clients or customers to supply workers to perform services. DWS recognizes these types of employing units as defined by the Professional Employer Organization Registration Act, Title 58, Chapter 59 of the Utah Code.
Temporary service is defined as an arrangement whereby the organization hires it's own employees and assigns them to a client to support or supplement the client's own workforce in special work situations such as employee absences, temporary skill shortages, seasonal workloads and special assignments and projects. The assignment of the temporary help must have a finite ending date and the temporary service employer customarily reassigns the employees to other client organizations upon the completion of each assignment.
A Professional Employers Organization is any properly and legally registered employee leasing company as defined by Section 58-59-102 of the Utah Code. A Professional Employers Organization enters into a co-employment agreement with the client which is intended to be an ongoing relationship, rather than a temporary or project specific relationship. In the absence of such compliance, DWS may choose to hold the "client employer" as the employing unit. The Utah Administrative Code rules for "payrolling" do not apply to leasing companies who are in compliance with the Professional Employer Organization Registration Act.
