1. "Client" means an individual or entity which has 
 
contracted with an employee leasing company to supply it with or assume responsibility for personnel management of one or more workers to perform services on an on-going basis rather than under a temporary help arrangement, as defined in Section 15 of the Employee Leasing Company Act.

 
 
2. "Employee leasing company" means an individual or 
 
entity which contracts with a client to supply or assume responsibility for personnel management of one or more workers to perform services for the client on an on-going basis rather than under a temporary help arrangement, as defined in Section 15 of the Employee Leasing Company Act.

 
B. Subject to subsection C, services performed by an
individual under a contract between an employee leasing
company and client, including but not limited to services
performed in the capacity of a corporate officer of the
client, are services in "employment" of the employee
leasing company and are not services in "employment" of
the client if all of the following conditions are met:

 
 
1. The employee leasing company pays the individual 
 
for the services directly from its own accounts; and

 
 
2. The employee leasing company, exclusively or in 
 
conjunction with the client, retains the right to direct and control the individual in the performance of the services; and

 
 
3. The employee leasing company, exclusively or in 
 
conjunction with the client, retains the right to hire and terminate the individual; and

 
 
4. The employee leasing company reports each client 
 
in the manner the Director prescribes by regulation; and
 
 
5. The employee leasing company has provided, and 
 
there remains in effect, such irrevocable indemnification, as the Director may require by rule, to create a primary obligation on the part of the provider to the Illinois Department of Employment Security for obligations of the employee leasing company accrued and final under this Act. The rule may prescribe the form the indemnification shall take including, but not limited to, a surety bond or an irrevocable standby letter of credit. The obligation required pursuant to the rule shall not exceed $1,000,000. 

 
C. Notwithstanding subsection B, services performed by
an individual under a contract between an employee leasing
company and client, including but not limited to services
performed in the capacity of a corporate officer of the
client, are services in "employment" of the client and are
not services in "employment" of the employee leasing
company if:

 
 
1. The contribution rate, or, where applicable, the 
 
amended contribution rate, of the client is greater than the sum of the fund building rate established for the year pursuant to Section 1506.3 of this Act plus the greater of 2.7% or 2.7% times the adjusted state experience factor for the year; and

notwithstanding any other provision of this Act to the
contrary, services performed by an individual under a
contract between an employee leasing company and client,
including but not limited to services performed in the
capacity of a corporate officer of the client, are services
in "employment" of the client and are not services in
"employment" of the employee leasing company.

existence of an employment relationship other than for purposes of this Act.
