Attorney General Ellison celebrates signing of employer misclassification fraud bill
New bill makes it harder for employers to incorrectly classify employees as independent contractors
“It is hard to afford your life when your job cheats you out of the pay and benefits you have earned by pretending you are an independent contractor, rather than an employee,” said Attorney General Ellison. “Legitimate independent contractors play an important role in our workforce, but that classification cannot be abused by low-road employers looking to make a buck by misclassifying their workers.”
