Change provisions of the Professional Employer Organization Registration Act

LB 293 amends Nebraska's Professional Employer Organization (PEO) Registration Act to clarify co-employment relationships between PEOs and their business clients. It requires that at least half of a client's employees and payroll must be covered under the PEO arrangement, and specifies that clients retain full control over work direction, safety, and quality of services while PEOs handle payroll, tax withholding, and wage payments. The bill mandates written agreements between PEOs and clients detailing responsibilities, including worker compensation coverage obligations, and requires PEOs to notify covered employees about the co-employment structure. This directly affects PEOs, their business clients, and employees covered under these arrangements.
