A Request for Feedback on the DOL’s Proposed Joint Employer Standard

1.Have you recently tabled, changed, or discontinued any program, policy, or initiative involving third-party business partners or service providers (examples below) as a result of joint employer concerns?
2.One of the four factors under the proposed joint employment standard is: “whether the [business] hires or fires the employee.” Do you think this factor is easy to understand and fair to apply in determining whether your company is a joint employer of another entity’s worker?
3.Another factor under the proposed rule is: “whether the [business] supervises and controls the employee’s work schedule or conditions of employment.” Do you think this factor is easy to understand and fair to apply in determining whether your company is a joint employer of another entity’s worker?
4.Another factor under the proposed rule is: “whether the [business] determines the employee’s rate and method of payment.” Do you think this factor is easy to understand and fair to apply in determining whether your company is a joint employer of another entity’s worker?
5.The final proposed factor under the proposed rule is: “whether the [business] maintains the employee’s employment records.” Do you think this factor is easy to understand and fair to apply in determining whether your company is a joint employer of another entity’s worker?
