The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is seeking to redefine the joint-employer standard reformed during the Trump Administration. In its current form, the NLRB’s proposed ruling would significantly expand the scope of what constitutes joint employment, which could cloud the employment status of many workers and significantly extend employers’ liability. Yesterday, the SBA Office of Advocacy submitted a letter and fact sheet to the NLRB, highlighting the office’s concerns with the proposed rule and its potential impact on America’s small businesses.
AAHOA’s Vice President of Government Affairs Dean Heyl participated in an SBA roundtable earlier this month regarding the joint employer ruling, noting its impact on the franchise business model many AAHOA members operate under. AAHOA will continue to monitor the matter as we further our engagement with the pertinent federal agencies and elected officials in Washington, D.C.
