Rebuttable presumption that in individual is an employee establishment

SF 3202 establishes a rebuttable presumption that workers in Minnesota's trucking and messenger/courier industries are employees, not independent contractors. This means drivers operating licensed vehicles are presumed to be employees unless employers can prove seven specific conditions are met (e.g., the worker owns equipment, covers maintenance costs, has a written independent contractor agreement, and controls work methods). The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 181.722 and 268.035 to implement this change, shifting the burden to employers to demonstrate independent contractor status. It directly affects drivers in these industries and impacts how their employment status is determined for workers' compensation and unemployment benefits.
