Bill Summary
Relative to unemployment insurance for the gig economy, so-called. Labor and Workforce Development.
AI Summary
This bill aims to provide unemployment insurance coverage for workers in the gig economy. It amends the existing law, Chapter 151A of the General Laws, to define any entity that relies on independent contractors to perform a service or provide a product as the employer of those individuals, unless another entity is already paying workers' compensation contributions on their behalf. Under this change, the independent contractors would not be liable for paying workers' compensation contributions themselves.
