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.
