Bill > S1261

This bill, the Save Local Business Act, aims to clarify the treatment of employers as "joint employers" under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) and the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Specifically, it amends the NLRA and FLSA to state that an employer may be considered a joint employer of another employer's employees only if each employer directly, actually, and immediately exercises significant control over the essential terms and conditions of employment, such as hiring, firing, pay, benefits, supervision, and discipline. This narrower definition of joint employment is intended to provide more clarity and certainty for businesses, particularly local and small businesses, regarding their employment relationships and responsibilities.
