Bill Summary
Relative to certain services provided by independent contractors. Labor and Workforce Development.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend Section 148B of Chapter 149 of the General Laws, which deals with the classification of individuals as employees or independent contractors. The key change is to the criteria for determining whether an individual should be considered an employee or an independent contractor. Specifically, the bill removes the requirement that the service must be performed "outside the usual course of the business of the employer" as one of the criteria for an individual to be classified as an independent contractor. The other two criteria - that the individual is free from control and direction, and that they are customarily engaged in an independently established trade or business - would remain in place.
