(1) (a) For the purposes of this section, "temporary help contracting firm" means any person who is in the business of employing individuals and, for compensation from a third party, providing those individuals to perform work for the third party, under the supervision of the third party.
(b) Repealed.
Employment with a temporary help contracting firm is characterized by a series oflimited-term assignments of an employee to a third party, based on an agreement between the temporary help contracting firm and the third party. A separate employment agreement exists between the temporary help contracting firm and each individual it hires as an employee. Completion of an assignment for a third party by an employee employed by a temporary help contracting firm does not, in itself, terminate the employment agreement between the temporary help contracting firm and the employee.

If an employee of a temporary help contracting firm contacts the firm upon completion of an assignment in compliance with subsection (4) of this section and does not continue employment in a new assignment, such employee shall be considered separated under the provisions of section 8-73-108 (4)(a).
