Bill Summary

Relative to employee definition harmonization

AI Summary

This bill amends the definition of "employee" in the Massachusetts Unemployment Insurance Law. Specifically, it strikes out the existing subsection (b) and replaces it with a new provision that an individual's service is considered outside the usual course of the employer's business. It also adds a new paragraph that exempts the relationship between an automobile club and an individual performing services pursuant to a contract between the automobile club and a third party to provide automobile club services, requiring the automobile club to instead establish that the third party is a separate and independent business in order to determine if the individual is an employee of the automobile club.
