Bill Summary
Relative to the independent contractor statute. Labor and Workforce Development.
AI Summary
This bill amends the independent contractor statute in Massachusetts to explicitly exclude individuals engaged to conduct store audits or perform mystery shopping services, provided that the service opportunities are offered on a project-by-project basis, the individual can choose to accept or decline them, the remuneration is based on a fixed-fee regardless of time worked, and the individual is not restricted from performing similar services for others. This change exempts these individuals from being considered "employees" for the purposes of Chapters 149 (labor laws) and 151 (unemployment insurance) of the Massachusetts General Laws, and excludes them from the definition of "employee" under the state's workers' compensation law.
