Bill > H1036

This bill aims to clarify the definition of an independent contractor in Massachusetts. It establishes a set of criteria that must be met in order for a person to be considered an independent contractor, rather than an employee, such as being free from control and direction, performing services outside the contractor's usual course of business, and being customarily engaged in an independently established trade or business. The bill also defines the criteria for a separate business entity to be considered an independent contractor, including having a substantial investment, owning capital goods, and making services available to the general public. Overall, the bill seeks to provide more clarity on the legal status of independent contractors in the state.
