RENO, NV, UNITED STATES, January 27, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In the ever-evolving landscape of employment law, California's Assembly Bill 5 (AB5), which was introduced in 2020, has brought significant changes to how workers are classified in the gig economy. The classification of workers as employees or independent contractors plays a crucial role in determining their rights, benefits, and legal obligations.

Under the ABC test mandated by AB5, workers are presumed to be employees unless they meet specific criteria including freedom from employer control, working outside the employer's business scope, and engaging in an independent trade. This shift has far-reaching implications on minimum wage, overtime pay, benefits, and legal protections for workers.

The gig economy, characterized by freelance and temporary work arrangements, has thrived on flexibility but has also raised concerns about worker rights and protections. Individuals working in this sector, known as gig workers, face unique challenges in navigating their employment status and entitlements.
