NLRB Issues New Joint-Employer Rule
On October 27, 2023 the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) published a final rule establishing new criteria for determining joint employer status. The new standard will become effective December 26, 2023 and replaces the current NLRB rule that has been in place since April 27, 2020. The new rule increases the likelihood of a business being deemed a joint employer of another business’s employees under the National Labor Relations Act and the additional responsibilities and risks associated with that designation.
