House resolution urges Mississippi to adopt temporary worker guidelines

The resolution urges Mississippi to acknowledge and adopt guidelines for temporary workers. The guidelines address pay, assignment information, fees for background checks and drug tests, safety, work agreements, discrimination, and agency employment data. The resolution urges adoption; it does not make the guidelines binding or say they are already in force. The resolution sets no start date or process for adopting the guidelines.

The resolution urges guidelines that limit temporary assignments and require offers of permanent jobs. The guidelines apply to temporary workers and the employers and staffing agencies involved in their assignments. One guideline allows longer assignments covering certain extended medical leaves, with a permanent job offer after 180 days. Another separately states a 90-day limit and a permanent job offer after 90 days; the text does not explain how these guidelines fit together. The stated 90-day and 180-day periods apply to assignment limits and job offers in the listed guidelines.
