REMINDER - YOUR VETO LETTER IS NEEDED NOW TO STOP JOBS KILLING INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR BILL IN CALIFORNIA
Last week, the California Legislature passed SB 459 which would penalize and impose severe financial penalties (up to $25,00 per violation) against any company that “willfully misclassifies” any individual as an independent contractor. Furthermore SB 459 requires an employer who has been found to have willfully misclassified an individual to: post a notice on the company website stating that the employer has committed a serious violation of the law. The bill does nothing to clarify the definition of who qualifies for independent contractor status.
