Subject: Temporary Worker/Employment Agency Bill, S. 680/H.1797
I am writing in support of S. 680/H.1797, the Temporary Worker/Employment Agency Bill.
The bill provides much-needed protection for workers in temporary jobs. Since temporary jobs are largely low-wage and characterized by high turnover, these workers constitute some of the most vulnerable members of the workforce. Frequently, these workers are sent off not knowing where they are going, what they are doing, who they are working for, what they will be getting paid, or anything much more than a nickname for a contact person. Only after they begin working, do they discover charges for transportation, meals, or necessary safety equipment.
This bill requires agencies to provide written notice of key details of job assignments- the name of the agency, the worksite employer, the type of work to be done, disclosure of who the employer is for legal purposes, the wages, and the details and costs of transportation, equipment, and meals provided by the worksite employer. It also requires disclosure of how to reach DOS, the right to workers’ compensation, a copy of the contract to be given to the applicant, as well as a receipt for any charges paid by the applicant.
I strongly support this legislation, and urge you and your committee to take it up and pass the bill quickly.
