This bill clarifies existing worker laws to ensure that companies merely serving as a platform to provide work opportunities to Utahns are not mislabeled as that worker's employer.
Libertas Institute supports this bill. The gig economy is one of the most promising sectors for Utah over the coming decade. The gig economy will play a vital role in ensuring that people looking for work always have an opportunity to find it. It is important that Utah embraces the future of work, and embodies the principles of a person's right to work by empowering a work-friendly environment that is aware of the future. This clarification in the law is critical for Utah to continue on the path to being a state that generates countless opportunities for its workforce to earn a living.
