Suppose you have been reading The Emplawyerologist's previous posts on issues arising out of co-employment (click here, here , here and here if you have not) and you are now concerned about protecting yourself. You have an idea and you think it just might be the most brilliant one you've had in a long time--perhaps ever. You will have contracts with any staffing agencies, contractors, parent or subsidiary companies, and in those contracts you will specify that you are not a co-employer, and that in any event the other company will assume all liability for any damage or costs that can be traced back to that company's employees (this is also referred to as an indemnification, or "hold harmless" clause). Can you do that? Will it work? What will happen if you try it? You can find out after the jump!
