Ortoli | Rosenstadt: What Exactly Is a Seller Responsible for When Selling Its Staffing Firm?
Buyers of a business generally expect sellers to be responsible for certain liabilities relating to when the seller owned its business—a concept mergers and acquisitions professionals refer to as indemnification. Indemnification is one of the most heavily negotiated, and potentially most significant, provisions of a purchase agreement, and understanding the terminology common to such agreements is essential when negotiating a deal. Attorney Paul Pincus of Ortoli Rosenstadt LLP explains what sellers are liable for, how a seller’s liability may be limited, and how buyers may seek to fund potential indemnity claims.

Michigan Reinstates Original Paid Sick Leave Law—Temporary Employees to Be Covered Starting Next Year
The Supreme Court of Michigan has issued the last word on the status of paid sick leave in the state. In a July 31 ruling, the court reinstated 2018 voter-approved ballot initiatives raising the state minimum wage and requiring employers to provide employees with paid sick leave. The ruling means that staffing agency temporary employees, who thus far have been excluded, will become eligible for paid sick leave effective Feb. 21, 2025.
Illinois DOL Withdraws Proposed Temporary Worker Rules
The Illinois Department of Labor has withdrawn proposed regulations implementing the equal pay and benefits amendments to the Day and Temporary Labor Services Act enacted last year. The proposed rules were issued Aug. 7, 2023, and ASA filed extensive comments pointing out the need for greater clarity.
In a notice published July 26 in the Illinois Register, DOL stated that it was withdrawing the proposal for the purpose of incorporating recent amendments to the act that were passed by the legislature and that a revised proposal will be made once the amendments become law.
ASA, the Staffing Services Association of Illinois, and three staffing agencies sued the state last year to enjoin the equal pay and benefits mandate; in March, a federal court issued an injunction blocking enforcement of the benefits portion of the mandate. The case is under appeal.
