Tu-lane Investments, Inc. v. Orr
29 FLW D2855
In employee leasing arrangement, if employee leasing company obtains workers’ compensation coverage for the employees subject to the arrangement, the client company would have workers’ compensation immunity for a civil cause of action by such employee under the term of Section 440.11(2), Florida Statutes, since the client company would be utilizing a "help supply services company". In that situation, the employee leasing company would be the employer pursuant to Section 468.529(1), Florida Statutes. If the employee leasing company did not obtain workers’ compensation coverage for the leased employees, then the client company would not be entitled to workers’ compensation immunity. Since there was a dispute as to the whether the employee leasing company in this instance secured workers’ compensation coverage for the employee, court determined that it was error for the court to grant a Motion for Summary Judgment, i.e., there was a dispute of fact as to whether the employee leasing company had secured workers’ compensation coverage for the leased employee.
