Are These Marketing Workers Covered Under CLRA? Seeking Guidance on Worker Classification

Hi, I have a query regarding CLRA. Let's say, if PE has asked 5 workers from IM for a marketing/data collection job (Nature of Job: Reporting in the morning at the office at 9, after the morning meeting they leave for the assigned job, and return to the office at 6 for daily work reporting). Will these 5 workers be considered under CLRA?

Thanks in advance for guiding me.

Thank you

What is IM here? PE could be understood as the principal employer, but what is IM? If these employees are paid directly by you, how is CLRA coming into the picture?

Hi, Thanks for the response. IM was a typing error; it is IE (Immediate Employer). Actually, I was confused with two clauses of CLRA. CLRA states that workers should be within the premises of PE. A few weeks ago, we had an incident where we had a sales event outside the premises for a period of one month, and we had sent our security guards (employed through a contract agency) to that place. My question is, if these guards are outside the premises but working for PE, will they be included in CLRA for that frame of time?

Thank you.

For more information, I would like to add that these guards work on our premises for the entire year and are only sent out during events. Will they be considered outside workers?

Thank you.

Ok. Already, the security guards are contract workers under your principal employer. It is only a work arrangement where they should be deployed. In this case, it is irrelevant. You can ask your contractor to deploy them at the sales point or factory. When they are engaged at the sales point, their status will not change, but they will continue to be under CLRA.
