Labor Code § 91.0011

Sec. 91.0011. COEMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP. (a) A coemployment relationship is intended to be an ongoing relationship rather than a temporary or specific one, in which the rights, duties, and obligations of an employer that arise out of an employment relationship are allocated between coemployers under a professional employer services agreement. Coemployment is not a joint employment arrangement. (b) In a coemployment relationship: (1) the professional employer organization may enforce only those employer rights and is subject to only those obligations specifically allocated to the professional employer organization by the professional employer services agreement or this chapter; (2) the client may enforce any right and is obligated to perform those employer obligations allocated to the client by the professional employer services agreement or this chapter; and (3) the client may enforce any right and is obligated to perform any obligation of an employer not specifically allocated to the professional employer organization by the professional employer services agreement or this chapter.
