A new definition of employment will be introduced which will focus on the real substance, practical reality, and true nature of the employment relationship instead of focusing on the terms of the contract between the parties.
The new definition will be particularly relevant when determining whether a worker is an employee or an independent contractor, MGAIBA does not foresee this change will significantly impact members unless they use independent contractors. If members regularly use independent contractors, they are encouraged to contact MGAIBA for further advice as to how these changes may affect them.
