What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MS
I am curious if there is a time frame for how long someone can work in the same position, at the same company but actually be employed by a temporary staffing agency. I've currently been here for 8 months, through a temp agency. I've been told a couple of times, over the last 4 months the company I'm at is planning to hire us (there are two of us who started at the same time) on full time, but that hasn't happened yet.
Yesterday, one of my coworkers and I were talking and she said that the person who pays the staffing agency made the comment she prefers to do it this way because it's cheaper to pay them than it is to provide us benefits(and yes, she is also the one who determines who gets hired), not that they have great benefits here but they are better than what I have currently.
I'm just curious if there is any kind of limitations on how long they have to make that decision or can they leave us through the temp agency indefinitely?
Thanks so much!
