A. For the purposes of this section:

employees and assigns them to clients to support or supplement the
client's work force in work situations such as employee absences,
temporary skill shortages, seasonal workloads and special
assignments and projects;
2. "Temporary employee" means an employee assigned to work for
the clients of a temporary help firm; and
3. "Good cause" means a reason that is significant and would
compel an average reasonable worker, who would otherwise want a
suitable job assignment with a client of the temporary help firm, to
fail to contact the temporary help firm, to refuse an offered
assignment, or to be unavailable for assignment; and
4. "Suitable job assignment" means work, either full-time or
part-time for one or more days or portions thereof, that is in
keeping with the education, training, experience, and ability of the
individual to perform.
B. A temporary employee of a temporary help firm will be deemed
to have left his or her last work voluntarily without good cause
connected with the work if the temporary employee:
1. Does not contact the temporary help firm for reassignment on
completion of an assignment. The temporary help firm shall
establish the manner for a temporary employee to communicate that
his or her assignment has ended and that he or she is available for
reassignment at any time;
2. Refuses a suitable job assignment, without good cause;
3. Communicates his or her decision to cease seeking assignment
for any period of time;
4. Becomes unavailable to accept a suitable job assignment,
without good cause; or
5. Accepts employment with a client of the temporary help firm.
On and after the effective date of this act, the provisions of
this subsection shall apply only if the temporary employee has been
advised of the obligations and been provided a copy of a separate
document written in clear and concise language that states the
provisions in this section and that unemployment benefits may be
denied for failure to comply.
C. For the purposes of the Employment Security Act of 1980, the
temporary help firm is deemed to be the employer of the temporary
employee.
