Good morning, Mr. Speaker.
I am pleased to rise today to provide to the Members of this Honourable House an overview of the Independent Contractor Guidance document that has been published by the Ministry of Economy and Labour.
Mr. Speaker, the Employment Act 2000 (the “Act”) was amended in 2021 to allow the Manager of the Labour Relations Section to publish guidance on whether a working relationship more closely resembles that of an employee than that of an independent contractor.
