Trump Business-Friendly Joint Employer Rule Officially Overturned
Written on .
The current Administration has completed its rejection of the Trump-era joint employer rule by issuing a final rule in late July rescinding the 2020 joint employer rule. The Trump regulation would have limited the circumstances under which multiple businesses share liability for wage or other violations. These issues concern major cases such as the "poster child" case at McDonald's, which contended that McDonald's corporate and its franchisees were for certain purposes the same defendant. A new rule takes effect on September 28, 2021.
