Includes outside captive salespersons within the definition of an "employee"

This bill (A 5332) amends New York's Labor Law to include outside captive salespersons within the legal definition of "employee." Specifically, it removes an existing exclusion (Labor Law §651(5)(c)) that previously exempted salespeople contractually bound to one company from employee protections. As a result, these salespersons - previously not covered by minimum wage, overtime, and other labor standards - will now qualify for those protections under state law. The change directly affects captive salespersons employed by single companies, ensuring they receive the same labor rights as other employees.
