AGENCY:
National Labor Relations Board.
ACTION:
Final rule.
SUMMARY:
The National Labor Relations Board has decided to issue this final rule for the purpose of carrying out the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA or Act) by rescinding and replacing the final rule entitled “Joint Employer Status Under the National Labor Relations Act,” which was published on February 26, 2020, and took effect on April 27, 2020. The final rule establishes a new standard for determining whether two employers, as defined in the Act, are joint employers of particular employees within the meaning of the Act. The Board believes that this rule will more explicitly ground the joint-employer standard in established common-law agency principles and provide guidance to parties covered by the Act regarding their rights and responsibilities when more than one statutory employer possesses the authority to control or exercises the power to control particular employees’ essential terms and conditions of employment. Under the final rule, an entity may be considered a joint employer of another employer’s employees if the two share or codetermine the employees’ essential terms and conditions of employment.
DATES:
Effective December 26, 2023. This rule has been classified as a major rule subject to Congressional review. However, at the conclusion of the congressional review, if the effective date has been changed, the National Labor Relations Board will publish a document in the Federal Register to establish the new effective date or to withdraw the rule.
