Relating to: independent contractor healthcare workers and healthcare worker platforms.
SB 768 clarifies the classification of healthcare workers using digital platforms to schedule shifts at facilities. It establishes 15 specific conditions that must be met for these workers to be treated as independent contractors (not employees) of either the platform or the facility. Key provisions include requiring written agreements, allowing workers to freely accept/reject shifts without penalties, setting hourly rates independently, and mandating that platforms provide work injury, general liability, and professional liability insurance. The bill directly affects healthcare workers using such platforms and the platforms themselves, ensuring their classification as independent contractors under these defined terms.
