10. a. If an employee leasing company fails to comply with any of the requirements set forth in this act, the department may rescind the registration of that employee leasing company, thereby also rescinding the employee leasing company's co-employer status for purposes of the act, but not relieving the employee leasing company or client company from liabilities accrued. b. If the department rescinds the registration of an employee leasing company, all client companies of the employee leasing company thereafter shall file reports and make contributions separately, as provided in R.S.43:21-1 et seq.
