Bill > H4257

This bill proposes to amend the Massachusetts General Laws to establish that app-based drivers, such as those working for rideshare or delivery companies, are not considered employees, and the companies are not considered employers, for certain purposes under state labor and employment laws. The key provisions of the bill include defining the classification of app-based drivers, specifying the requirements for this classification (e.g., flexibility in work hours and ability to work for multiple companies), and outlining the implications for laws related to workplace conditions, minimum wages, unemployment insurance, and workers' compensation. The goal of the bill is to guarantee app-based drivers the freedom and flexibility to choose when, where, how, and for whom they work.
