Bill > S1222

This bill aims to provide a "safe harbor" for certain contractors of services in Massachusetts. It amends the state's labor laws to establish that an individual who has pre-registered as a payroll-taxpaying entity with the Department of Revenue and meets certain criteria, such as earning a minimum hourly rate or working in a profession that requires specialized skills or certification, will be considered an independent contractor and not an employee. The goal is to create more flexibility and clarity around the classification of service providers as independent contractors rather than employees.
