Bill > S2069

This bill amends the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) to modify the definitions of "employee" and "supervisor" in order to prevent the misclassification of employees as independent contractors. The bill specifies that an individual performing any service shall be considered an employee, unless the individual is free from control and direction, the service is performed outside the usual course of the employer's business, and the individual is customarily engaged in an independently established trade, occupation, or business. Additionally, the bill requires that a supervisor must have a majority of their work time devoted to supervisory duties, and removes the ability to assign or discharge other employees as a supervisory duty. The purpose of these changes is to ensure that workers are not denied their collective bargaining rights under the NLRA.
