A person leased to you by a labor leasing firm is defined as a

• A. Leased Worker
• B. Temporary Employee
• C. Independent Contractor
• D. Volunteer

Answer: (A)

When a person is provided by a labor leasing firm to work for another company, that individual is classified as a leased worker. They remain employed by the leasing firm, which handles payroll, taxes, and benefits, while the client company directs the day-to-day work and supervision. This arrangement distinguishes them from a regular temporary employee, an independent contractor, or a volunteer. A temporary employee is typically tied to the staffing firm in a short-term capacity but isn’t necessarily defined by a formal leasing relationship; an independent contractor operates as a separate business and is not an employee; a volunteer is not compensated for work. The leased worker label specifically reflects the employment relationship with the staffing firm while performing services for the client.
