New York’s 2nd District Court of Appeal has ruled that an employer is liable for the misdeeds of its hiring agents, even if it considers them independent contractors.

It said “an employer may be held liable for discrimination by third parties, including independent contractors, that the employer authorizes to make hiring decisions on its behalf.”

That includes staffing firms, RPOs, EORs, PEOs, MSPs, and any other 3rd party firm between the recruitment and management of a temp/contractor and the end user of that labor.
