AL HJR62

Joint resolution urging Alabama to adopt a "Temporary Workers' Bill of Rights" establishing guidelines for companies and staffing agencies employing temporary workers

Proposed protections include living wage requirements, basic job information disclosure (hours, pay rate, employer contact), and prohibition on charging workers for background checks and drug tests

Safety provisions would require equal safety training for temporary workers, injury reporting awareness, and hazard notification to reduce high injury rates

Limits temporary assignments to 90 days, after which employers must offer permanent full-time employment with benefits; exceptions for medical leave coverage extend to 180 days

Prohibits forced arbitration and noncompete agreements for temporary workers, limits conversion fees, requires staffing agencies to publish employment practice data, and addresses discrimination in the industry
