Bill > HR4366

This bill, titled the "Save Local Business Act," aims to clarify when two or more businesses can be considered "joint employers" under two key federal labor laws: the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), which governs union organizing and collective bargaining, and the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (FLSA), which sets minimum wage and overtime pay standards. Currently, the definition of joint employer can be broad, potentially holding businesses responsible for the labor practices of other companies they may have a relationship with. This bill proposes to amend both laws to require that for a business to be considered a joint employer, it must directly, actually, and immediately exercise significant control over essential employment conditions of another employer's workers, such as hiring, firing, setting pay and benefits, supervising daily work, assigning schedules, or disciplining employees. This stricter definition is intended to provide greater clarity and potentially reduce the scope of joint employer liability for businesses.
