A borrowing employer is immune from tort liability with regard to injuries sustained by a temporary staffing agency worker assigned to it, held an Illinois appellate court. Moreover, that immunity springs from the borrowed-employee relationship itself. It is not tied to the borrowing employer’s provision, directly or indirectly, of workers’ compensation insurance coverage. The court stressed that the borrowing employer statute, 820 ILCS 1(a)(4), explicitly contemplates that the loaning employer, rather than the borrowing employer, might be the entity that provides or pays the workers’ compensation premiums or benefits.
