Bill Summary

Relative to the payment of wages to self-employed contractors of services. Labor and Workforce Development.

AI Summary

This bill, concerning the payment of wages to self-employed contractors of services, proposes to amend Section 148B of Chapter 149 of the General Laws by removing a specific condition that previously required a service to be performed outside the usual course of the employer's business for a worker to be considered an independent contractor, not an employee. This change aims to remove a barrier that might have prevented individuals from being classified as self-employed contractors, potentially impacting how businesses engage and pay service providers.
