Offer of Coverage: Staffing Firms
+ If
the staffing company is not the common law employer of the
employee,
+ Then “an
offer of coverage [made by the staffing firm] is treated
as made on behalf of a client employer only if the fee the client
employer would pay to the staffing firm for an employee enrolled
in health coverage under the plan is higher than the fee the
client employer would pay to the staffing firm for the same
employee if the employee did not enroll in health coverage
under the plan.” 79 Fed. Reg. at 8566.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/2014laborseminarpresentations-140306081455-phpapp02/75/2014-Managing-Labor-Employee-Relations-Seminar-98-2048.jpg)

- 132. z The Proof isin the Pudding + If Plaintiff can show these 4 things then Defendant has to show legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason for action + How do you do this??? + Documentation + If is key Defendant does this then burden shifts back to Plaintiff to show “that the proffered reason was not the true reason for the employment decision.”
