Bloomberg BNA reports Reps. Bradley Byrne, R-Ala., and Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, recently asked Labor Secretary Alex Acosta to issue a new regulation updating joint employer liability under the Fair Labor Standards Act, according to a letter obtained by Bloomberg Law. The lawmakers — along with groups such as the International Franchise Association and HR Policy Association — want the department to limit the circumstances in which one business can be considered a joint employer of another’s workers.
