Clear Employment Rules: Who is an Employer?
This act clarifies when two or more companies can be considered joint employers. It aims to help small businesses understand their obligations and avoid legal ambiguities, potentially affecting employment stability and working conditions.
Key points
A company is considered a joint employer only if it directly and actually controls key employment aspects like hiring, firing, pay, or supervision.
The new rules apply to labor relations and minimum wage/overtime laws, potentially impacting companies' responsibility for subcontractor or franchisee employees.
