The services provided in the Agreement shall apply only to the Covered Employees. As used in this Agreement, the term Covered Employees shall refer solely to those Client employees occupying the job positions listed in the attached Rate Sheet for whom Client has timely submitted new hire paperwork and for whom we have acknowledged acceptance in writing.

As your full-service professional employer organization, during the Term we will provide the following services (“Services”) to Covered Employees:

In addition, our separate employment agreement or acknowledgment with Covered Employees, and the status of our co-employment relationship with Covered Employees, will not amend, replace or otherwise affect any current or future employment or other relationship any Covered Employee may have with you.

C. Employment of any Covered Employee by us is contingent on their current status as your employee. Our separate employment relationship with Covered Employees terminates automatically if (i) his or her employment with you terminates for any reason; (ii) we or Covered Employee exercises our respective rights to terminate our separate employment relationship; or (iii) this Agreement terminates for any reason.

Onsite supervisors can serve as our primary contact for facilitating our Services. 

F. You agree that, although we are establishing a limited and separate “co-employment” relationship with Covered Employees, we are not “joint employers,” “dual employers,” or “correcting, creating, controlling or exposing employers” with you as those terms are used by OSHA or other various governmental agencies, courts, and Laws.

G. We agree and acknowledge that you retain exclusive ownership of all of your pre-existing, later developed, or enhanced, intellectual property created by you or your Covered Employees.

To the extent any such intellectual property rights is considered to vest in us by operation of law, we will acknowledge, execute and deliver to you sufficient instruments of assignment and transfer as may reasonably be requested by you, your successors or assigns to vest in you all rights, title and interest in and to such intellectual property.

5. Your Contractors, Subcontractors, and Independent Contractors.

You agree that you are responsible for ensuring your contractors have adequate workers compensation coverage. You expressly disclaim any and all liability for workers’ compensation claims arising out of or in connection with the actions, omissions, or conduct of any individual who is not a Covered Employee, as defined in this Agreement.
