Schmars, Chanda v. Express Employment Professionals, Inc.

**What Happened** Chanda Schmars filed a workers' compensation claim against Express Employment Professionals, Inc., a staffing agency that places temporary workers at various job sites. Workers' compensation cases typically involve employees seeking benefits for workplace injuries or illnesses, including medical expenses and wage replacement while unable to work. **What the Court Decided** The court records show this case was filed in Tennessee's workers' compensation court in June 2022, but the specific outcome and details of the court's decision are not available in the public records. **Why This Matters for Workers** This case highlights an important issue for temporary and staffing agency workers. When you work through a staffing agency, questions can arise about who is responsible for workers' compensation coverage - the staffing agency that employs you or the company where you actually perform the work. Both temporary workers and permanent employees have the right to workers' compensation benefits if they're injured on the job. If you're a temporary worker and get hurt at work, you should file a claim promptly and understand that your staffing agency is typically your employer for workers' compensation purposes.
