Bill overview
This bill aims to standardize how ‘employee’ is defined across different state laws and programs in Massachusetts. Currently, various agencies and statutes use different definitions, which can lead to confusion and potential misclassification of workers. The bill seeks to consolidate these definitions into a single, clear standard to ensure consistent application and prevent errors in areas like unemployment insurance and labor law enforcement. This would help ensure workers are properly classified and protected.
