Pederson v. Apple Corrugated Packaging, Inc.

ON MOTION FOR REHEARING

Plaintiffs cite TEX.REV.CIV.STAT. ANN. art. 9104, § 11 (Vernon Supp.Pamph. 1994) and argue that the legislature “apparently concluded that workers’ compensation coverage only applied to the leasing company, or in this ease, Staff Benefits and not the client company, Appellee.” First, we note that Article 9104, involving regulation of “Staff leasing services,” became effective on September 1, 1993. This injury occurred on January 28,1991. Also, Section 11(c) of Article 9104 expressly provides that “[f]or workers’ compensation insurance purposes, a licensee and its client company shall be co-employers.” (Emphasis added)

Plaintiffs’ motion for rehearing is overruled.
