LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 2994, as introduced, Wicks.
Employment relations.
Existing law requires, except as prescribed, a person who, for money or other valuable consideration, knowingly advises an employer to treat an individual as an independent contractor to avoid employee status for that individual to be jointly and severally liable with the employer, if the individual is found not to be an independent contractor.
This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to that provision.
