Gig economy workers are generally classified as independent contractors. However, this classification has been continuously challenged by the gig economy workers, and at times, by the App based companies through whom they find work.
This has resulted in some state legislatures passing bills that require app-based companies to offer benefits, that are often reserved for employees of the app-based rideshare and delivery companies, to their independent contractors. The first such Bill was in California. Now, other states may be following suit.
In March 2022, Washington state lawmakers passed House Bill (“HB”) 2076: The Expand Fairness Act. Effective January 1, 2023, the bill gave Washington app-based drivers the following rights:
- state Workers’ Compensation coverage
- paid sick leave
- the guaranteed minimum pay for minutes worked, miles driven, and trips made
- a requirement that drivers must be provided just cause before account deactivation
- protection from retaliation for exercising these rights
Listen to this week's episode for the details on this ruling.
