In a legal report from Saudi Arabia.

كان عقد موكلتنا مع (شركة) لتقديم موظفين معارين فقط يعملون لحساب (شركة) وتحت اشراف (شركة) وتوجيههم ومسؤوليتهم

During tough economic times, some companies utilize the services of loaned employees to control labor costs. In loaned-employee agreements, the company that provides the services of a loaned employee is legally responsible for meeting employer-related requirements. The company that purchases the services of a loaned employee is responsible only for paying the costs associated with the employee services received, but can’t be held legally responsible for other expenses normally associated with employment.
