Re: Employer Transferred Without Consent (Non-Payment for Hours Worked)
I will acknowledge reading the date wrong. Mea culpa. However, my disbelief still stands.
I will go this far; I will acknowledge that it is possible the client company could have enrolled you as an employee without your knowledge, though I am unaware of any employment law such an action would violate. I stand firm, however, that they cannot end your employment with the temp agency without the cooperation of the temp agency.
You don't want to work for them; the temp agency doesn't want you employed by them. So quit, and continue your employment with the temp agency. Problem solved.

they may have enrolled him as an employee but that does not make him an employee. One has to accept employment to become an employee.
if you think otherwise, well, it's time you started listening to your new boss; ME.
see how that doesn't work?

the problem I see is; he has accepted employment by this new agency. That is supported by the fact he is expecting, and even actively dealing with a pay issue with the new agency. If you do not accept employment by a given company, you surely are not going to look to receiving pay from them.
but as you said; if he doesn't want to be employed by this new agency; quit. I suspect the former agency is no longer involved with the client company so returning to them might not be the best idea though.
Re: Employer Transferred Without Consent (Non-Payment for Hours Worked)
Oh, I agree. They can put him on the payroll without his knowledge or permission but they can't force him to show up and start working. That wasn't my point. He keeps insisting that they ended his employment with the temp agency and you and I both know that simply isn't possible. They have no means to alter their pay records or update the employment status of anyone working for them. If the temp agency says yes, you're still employed, than he is. If they say no, you're no longer employed by us, then THEY did it since they're the only one who can.
