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.

I agree with Frank. The employer is basically outsourcing the HR responsibilities to the leasing company.

Option A seems to be the correct answer. The employer doesn't have the ability to hire and fire the leased employee since that's handled by the leasing company.

Yes, the employer still supervises the work even though the employee is leased.

But if the employer is leasing the employee, wouldn't they still be responsible for reporting wages?
