Resume question

Going to run a question by everyone.
I was hired on as a 6 contract-to-hire by a company. I was working for company A, but being paid by company B. I eventually was hired on permanently by company A.
I would like to update my resume, and I have a few questions. Do I list my employment by company B, even if all they did was pay me? If I do include company B, do I just duplicate my job description and duties on both company A and B?
Sorry if it's confusing and TIA

only list the company that you actually did work for.

Yes I would do both but that's just me.

If you were working for a temp type agency, you put down worked for x agency but was assigned to wherever you worked (y). The y company HR will state you were not their employee till you were paid by them.

I'd list both hyphenated or slashed on the same job entry, especially if they're in the same field and it's practical.
Paychecks came from the one company and that's who you legally worked for, but all your effort and actual work went to the other company. All your good references will also come from the company you actually did the work for as well. I'd make one of the lines under the actual job description an explanation of the two employers.
I wouldn't duplicate the job on the resume since that can be confusing and dumb people may think you're trying to get away with something.

Did you do the same job while being paid by both companies?
I would list both companies, with the dates, and then under that, list the responsibilities. This shows that you did a good enough job to be hired by the company.
So...
Company A, December 2012-present
Company B, June 2012-December 2012
- blah blah blah
-blah blah blah
-blah blah blah

Thank you, because I'll probably be running into the same situation at the end of the month
eta: not to hijack, but do you put seperate entries if the job is essentially the same, but title is different. TIA

I put the better sounding title without anything else.
I had a job for 5 years and went from a mid/low level position to running the place. The only thing that shows on my resume for that job is the last/best title.

I definitely would do this.

Depends on how full your resume is.
Too much clutter can get you tossed in a "probably too expensive to hire" pile

I would seperate them...you want to show progression.
