Bill Summary

This bill expands certain employer reporting requirements to include entities that employ or contract with individuals for financial compensation, including technology platforms used for ride-sharing, delivery, or other services. Under current law, employers and labor organizations are required to report certain information to the Department of Human Services regarding employees or persons to whom the employer anticipates paying earnings. The law requires this information to be reported to the department within 20 days of the hiring, re-hiring, or return to work of the employee. The bill expands these existing reporting requirements to include employers, labor organizations, and other entities that employ or contract with any person for financial compensation. Financial compensation includes earnings reported on a Form 1099.

AI Summary

This bill expands existing employer reporting requirements to include a broader range of entities that compensate individuals, such as ride-sharing and delivery platforms, by requiring them to report information about individuals they employ or contract with for financial compensation, which includes earnings reported on a Form 1099. Previously, only employers and labor organizations were obligated to report certain employee information to the Department of Human Services within 20 days of hiring, re-hiring, or an employee's return to work. This legislation broadens this obligation to encompass any entity that pays or expects to pay earnings or other financial compensation to individuals, ensuring that a wider array of work arrangements are captured for state purposes.
