Bill Summary

Relative to the definition of an employee under the labor laws for certain persons performing services. Labor and Workforce Development.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend the definition of an employee under Massachusetts labor laws. Specifically, it would change the language in existing law from requiring that an individual must meet all three criteria to be considered an independent contractor to only needing to meet one of the criteria. This change would make it easier for certain service providers to be classified as independent contractors rather than employees, potentially affecting their labor rights and benefits.
