Under existing law, for purposes of wage reporting and taxation, workers are generally classified as either an employee of a business entity or an independent contractor.
Also under existing law, the term "employment" is defined, and various exclusions from the defined term are also included.
This bill would further provide for the definition of "employment" to exclude certain marketplace contractors who work for certain marketplace platforms, such as Uber, Grubhub, Lyft, Waitr, etc., to clarify that under state law, these workers are not employees, but instead operate as independent contractors.
This bill would repeal certain requirements imposed on the Department of Labor during a state of emergency.
This bill would also make nonsubstantive, technical revisions to update the existing code language to current style.
Assigned Act No. 2022-197.
