They still report wages though, right?

Wait, can they really not set the pay? Sounds weird.

So they just supervise? That’s interesting!

I believe they definitely report wages, but I think they don't hire and fire directly. That seems like the right choice.

I'm a bit uncertain about whether they can supervise the work. I feel like they might still have some oversight.

I remember a practice question about leasing companies where the employer didn't set the rate of pay. That might be the answer here too.

This is a tricky one. I'm not totally sure what the right answer is, but I'm going to eliminate the options that seem clearly wrong, like "hire and fire" since that's the whole point of using a leasing company. Then I'll try to reason through the remaining choices.

Okay, I think I've got this. The key is that the employer doesn't have control over the leased employee in the same way they would for a directly hired worker. So they can't set the rate of pay or supervise the work - that's all handled by the leasing company. I'm feeling pretty confident about this one.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know the employer doesn't directly hire or fire the leased employee, but I'm not totally clear on the other responsibilities they don't have. I'll need to re-read the question carefully.

This seems like a straightforward question about the relationship between an employer and a leasing company. I'll need to think carefully about the key responsibilities that the employer doesn't have in this scenario.

Ah, I see now. The employer doesn't get to do any of the typical employer duties like hiring, firing, or setting pay. That's all the leasing company's responsibility.

Haha, this question is like a game of 'which one of these is not like the other?' The employer has to be hands-off with the leased employee.

I think option D is the correct answer. The employer doesn't supervise the work of the leased employee, that's the leasing company's job.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Doesn't the employer still have some control over the leased employee's work, like setting the rate of pay and supervising them? This is a tricky question.
