An Act relative to employee definition harmonization
This bill amends Massachusetts labor law to clarify the definition of "employee" under Chapter 151A. It replaces a previous subsection with a new definition stating that service performed "outside the usual course of the business of the employer" does not count as employment. This directly affects employers and workers in situations where services are provided outside typical business operations, such as certain independent contractors or temporary assignments. The change aims to standardize how worker classification is determined under state law.
