Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Labor relating to "Employee or Independent Contractor Classification Under the Fair Labor Standards Act".
Summary
This joint resolution seeks to overturn a Department of Labor rule that changed how workers are classified as either employees or independent contractors under federal law. If passed, the resolution would nullify the current multi-factor test used to determine worker status, effectively reverting the criteria to previous standards. For citizens, this would impact whether certain workers—particularly those in the gig economy or freelance sectors—are entitled to federal minimum wage, overtime pay, and other legal protections reserved for employees.
