I'm sending my satellite office to space

I just found out our satellite office in another state has been handing out portions of our full time employee handbook as part of their orientation process for temporary employees. The pages include random drug testing (which we do not do for temps, its handled by the agencies)our workers comp policy (also handled by the agencies) and our corrective action process which includes mention of written warnings (which we do not do for temps.) Aren't they creating a type of co-employment by doing this? I've told them to stop until I get up there next month, but before I start chewing butts I want to be able to give them solid reasons for not continuing this practice.

I hope those aren't real HR people. In any event, at the very least it's really dumb, and at the worst could set your company up for some legal trouble, depending on which state the office is located in.
