Re: worker comp ins
Your question raises many issues. There is a concept known as the "borrowed servant" where an emplyee from one company is considered an employee of another for puposes of WC. There are also different circumstances where the irs considers someone to be an employee rather than an independnet contractor. Generally, each case is dependent on its own individual facts howevr, the overiding concept is, who controls the means and methods of the work being done. Please feel free to contact my office for a free consultation to discuss further.
