NLRB Joint Employer Rule Nixed

A federal district court enjoined the NLRB’s joint employer rule that had gone into effect on March 11, 2024. Under this rule, an entity would be considered a joint employer of another employer’s employees if the two share or codetermine the employees’ essential terms and conditions of employment. The old standard under a 2020 rule requires a “substantial direct and immediate control” over the essential terms and conditions of employment to exist for joint-employer status (i.e., it’s more difficult to find joint-employer status under the old rule). The NLRB may appeal the district court decision. #IdeaoftheDay
