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, known as the "Save Local Business Act," aims to clarify the criteria for determining whether two or more employers are considered joint employers under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) and the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (FLSA). Specifically, it states that an employer can only be considered a joint employer if each employer directly, actively, and immediately exercises significant control over the essential terms and conditions of employment, such as hiring, firing, setting pay and benefits, supervising day-to-day activities, assigning work schedules or tasks, and disciplining employees. This change is intended to provide more clarity and limit the circumstances under which businesses can be held jointly responsible for the employment practices of other organizations they may work with or contract.
