German term or phrase: Body-Leasing und Tip-Provisionsgeschäfte
'Body-Leasing- und Tip-Provisionsgeschäfte sind nur in Ausnahmefällen und nach vorheriger einstimmiger Zustimmung der Gesellschafter zulassig.'
This sentence appears in the strategy and business plan for an IT consultancy company, and more specifically, in the section about staff under 'company structure'. Any ideas on a translation or what 'body leasing' is as I'm sure that part must stay the same in English?

Explanation:
For body-leasing, the previous answers all agree, it is current USA useage.
The second part, "Tip-Provisionsgeschäfte", I think they mean that part of consulting, where commissioins are paid on providing tips, sometimes a percentage of the bsuiness done or the profit achieved.

Explanation:
Here's an explanation of "Body Leasing":
Für die Zukunft der B2B-Beziehungen wird das Internet jedoch auch klassische Wertschöpfungsketten-orientierte Prozesse zumindest ergänzen: ebusiness-Auktionsplattformen, z.B. www.ricardobiz, flexibilisieren Beschaffungs- und Absatzmärkte und sorgen dafür, dass immer wieder neue Kooperationen entstehen werden. Derzeit bezieht sich dies noch überwiegend auf Standardprodukte und industrielle Überbestände, zukünftig wird man dort auch Personal bzw. Arbeitsleistung (Body-Leasing) ersteigern können, wo immer man man sich gerade aufhält (auf der Plattform versteigern.de kann man per SMS mitbieten: Das Handy piepst bei Ende der Auktion, höherem Gebot oder Verkauf

A search on "Employee Leasing" will yield a great number of hits. See, for instance:
What is Employee Leasing?
Under employee leasing arrangements, a small business transfers its workforce to an employee leasing firm and then leases back all or the majority of its workers. In return for a payroll markup of 14 to 30 percent, the employee leasing firm assumes all human resource management responsibilities, from the mundane - such as payroll, employee benefits, unemployment compensation, workers' compensation, and government reporting - to the specialized, such as providing 401K plans, completing employee background checks, identifying undocumented immigrants, and helping employers avoid discrimination suits and comply with the Americans for Disabilities Act. For employees, the transfer to an employee leasing firm is almost transparent because their original employer retains the supervisory role.

As far as the Tip-Provisionsgeschäft goes, it's the Tip part that has me puzzled - I'm half thinking it might be an abbreviation having to do with temp employees - or maybe employees receive a commission for referrals of potential employees? (As you can see, I'm kind of grasping at straws here. Hopefully you can figure it out based on the overall context.)

Explanation:
no problem about the 'body leasing'
'tip' - is adopted in German a bit more broadly and acceptably than in English where it merely means giving a clue of an advice.

- Tip Provisionsgaeschaeft should in its entirety must mean consulting business.
