Sec. 15. The failure of a placement agency to provide a consumer
notice to the consumer at the time a home care services worker is
placed in the consumer's home does not relieve a consumer from the
duties or obligations as an employer. If a placement agency fails to
provide a consumer notice and the consumer is liable for payment of
wages, taxes, worker's compensation insurance premiums, or
unemployment compensation employer contributions, the consumer
has a right of indemnification against the placement agency, which
includes the actual amounts paid to or on behalf of the home care
services worker as well as the consumer's attorney's fees and costs.
As added by P.L.212-2005, SEC.19.
