Licensee or Licensor

In the staffing industry, similar to a franchise relationship in that an independent party operates a staffing company’s business in a designated territory. Unlike a franchise relationship, temporary employees are typically employed by, paid and billed by the licensor. The staffing firm that is the licensor typically counts as revenue the total system sales of its licensees and pays the local operator a fee usually based on gross margin. (See also: Franchise.)
