NEW BILL AIMS TO PROTECT CALIFORNIA WORKERS
What does this bill do? Sacramento has been busy over the last year. Legislators have felt they have a responsibility to the workers here in California, especially after the state Supreme Court strengthened the requirements that employers have to follow when classifying workers as independent contractors in the Dynamex decision.
If the bill passes, it will require that many gig workers be treated as employees If their jobs are central to the company’s core business If the supervisors direct the way the work is done
Example An Electrician hired by a restaurant to fix their socket can be considered an independent contractor. The electrician is not part of the restaurant’s regular operation and is not under the direction of the restaurant. However, “an electrician working regularly for an electrical company and sent on jobs will have to be considered an employee.”
