Various states are enacting laws and regulations to clarify the classification of gig workers as either employees or independent contractors. These laws often impact worker benefits, tax obligations, and employer responsibilities. For example, California's AB5 legislation and subsequent Proposition 22 have significantly influenced the gig economy landscape, setting standards for worker classification and independent contractor status, impacting industries like ride-sharing and delivery services. AB5 initially set a strict 'ABC test' for determining worker classification, while Proposition 22 created an exception for app-based transportation and delivery companies, allowing them to classify their workers as independent contractors while providing some benefits. This regulatory landscape continues to evolve, with ongoing debates and legal challenges shaping the gig economy across different states.
