Bill Summary
A BILL To clarify the treatment of 2 or more employers as joint employers under the National Labor Relations Act and the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938.
AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Save Local Business Act," aims to clarify the criteria for determining when two or more employers are considered "joint employers" under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) and the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Specifically, the bill states that an employer can only be considered a joint employer if each employer directly, actually, and immediately exercises significant control over the essential terms and conditions of employment, such as hiring, firing, pay, benefits, day-to-day supervision, and discipline. This is intended to provide more clarity and limit the circumstances in which an employer can be held responsible for the actions of another employer, potentially easing the burden on local businesses.
