The Council finds that funds allocated to its summer hire program can be stretched to include additional hires if applicants can be assigned to private firms with the private firms paying one-half (1/2) of the wages. The arrangement would also provide practical training in the private sector thereby enhancing the employees' future employment potential. This Article is intended to provide for the arrangement, subject to the private employer being responsible for the full workers' compensation, unemployment insurance and other employee benefits.

The Department of Economic Development, in its management and operation of the County's summer hire program, may contract with private firms to assign summer hire applicants to private firms, subject to the condition that private firms shall be liable for workers' compensation and unemployment insurance coverage and costs for all other employee benefits. The County may provide up to one-half (1/2) of the basic wage cost of such hires.
(Ord. No. 351, July 7, 1978; Sec. 22-11.2, 1978 Cumulative Supplement)
All referred applicants, if hired, shall be under the supervision of the private firms and shall be deemed employees of such firms.
