EmpleoPregunta 946 de 1605
A general contractor uses a labor-contractor (staffing agency) to supply framers, and the agency fails to pay proper wages. Under Labor Code §2810.3, what is the general contractor's potential exposure?
a.It is liable only for future wages, never past-due wages
b.It may share liability with the labor contractor for the workers' wages and workers' comp
c.It has no responsibility because the workers are not its direct employees
d.It is liable only if it knew of the violation
Explicación
Labor Code §2810.3 makes a 'client employer' that obtains workers through a labor contractor share civil-legal responsibility with that contractor for the payment of wages and for providing workers' compensation coverage. This prevents businesses from using staffing intermediaries to escape wage liability. Liability can attach regardless of the client employer's knowledge of the specific violation.
