Some companies consider employee leasing--purchasing the long-term services of a worker from another company--to be a good option. Texas Instruments, Inc., leases about 15 percent of its employees, and nationally the number of leased employees is now more than a million. Besides saving money that would otherwise be paid in benefits, leasing allows a business to avoid the commitment of time, paperwork, and expenses associated with recruiting and maintaining regular employees.

According to the passage, which of the following is the best definition of employee leasing?

A. saving money

B. purchasing the long-term services of a worker from another company

C. recruiting and maintaining regular employees

D. renting extra floor space for future growth
