Bill overview
This bill aims to simplify and standardize how ‘employee’ is defined in Massachusetts law. Currently, there are multiple, sometimes conflicting, definitions of what constitutes an employee, which can lead to businesses incorrectly classifying workers as independent contractors to avoid paying taxes and benefits. By consolidating these definitions, the bill seeks to prevent misclassification and ensure that workers receive the protections and benefits they are entitled to.
