Temps are usually not employees of company B, they will be contractors where B are operating as an "agency". If you look at the paperwork everyone involved will be "self-employed"

> pass laws that acknowledge that these employees are truly employees of Company A?

It's hard to draft this without completely ruling out even legitimate temp jobs. Does working at the factory for a week make you an employee? How about for a day, or an hour?

There already is a degree of control test for false contractors.

Who controls the persons time? Who controls their work? Who supplie equipment? Is there an opportunity for profit or loss? Do they have the right to subcontract? etc

[toopok4k3]

Yes.

I'm a self-employed IT Contractor. I actively don't want to be an employee.

If you hire a plumber to do a job in your home for an hour is he now your employee?

[toopok4k3]

No.

There are clear differences on who is responsible here. We can expect a factory to be always responsible over their area as it is a larger entity and doing business and we expect them to be experts and be in control of their own domain. We can expect them to be responsible over their non skilled labourers.

A plumber is the expert in this case and he controls his domain while you are just a dumb customer.

[chrisseaton]

That's why it's not simple - you've got lots of things open to debate there - who is skilled or unskilled, who is a business, who is a 'larger' entity, who is the expert. That's why it's more complicated than just saying 'yes' with an emphatic full stop.

Then start defining those into laws. I think my country already has those defined pretty well thanks to strong unions.

You'll never get there if you don't even start.
