AI Summary
This bill, the Save Local Business Act, aims to clarify the definition of "joint employer" under the National Labor Relations Act and the Fair Labor Standards Act. Specifically, it states that an employer can only be considered a joint employer if it directly, actually, and immediately exercises significant control over the essential terms and conditions of employment, such as hiring, firing, determining pay and benefits, and supervising employees on a day-to-day basis. This is intended to limit the circumstances in which a company can be held liable for labor violations committed by another company it may have some relationship with, in order to preserve the independence of local businesses.
