A 10078 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to classification of transportation network company drivers as employees

This bill (A 10078) changes how transportation network company drivers (like Uber or Lyft drivers) are classified under New York labor law. It presumes these drivers are employees - not independent contractors - unless they meet three specific conditions: working without company control, providing services outside the company's typical business, and operating as a fully independent business. This directly affects gig economy drivers and companies that use them, shifting responsibility for benefits and protections like minimum wage to the companies. The law takes effect 60 days after enactment.
