1 about the impact AB 5 is having: вЂњa wide variety of freelance workers, including writers, translators, strippers and clergy. As The New York Times put it in a story published Jan.

Many freelancers complain they are facing the loss of income and flexibility. Companies complain they cannot afford to convert their independent contractors to employees. Those on both sides of longstanding independent contractor relationships have complained that AB 5 threatens the way they do business. AB 5 exempted certain professions and contractual arrangements from the ABC test, subjecting them to a more flexible test that focuses mostly on the degree of control the hiring entity has over the manner in which the work is performed.

Under the ABC test, a hiring entity must prove the worker: (A) is free from the control the hiring entity typically exercises over its employees (B) performs work that is not integral to the hiring entityвЂ™s operations and (C) routinely does work (not just is permitted to do work) in a recognized business, trade, or occupation of the same nature as the work performed.ДЄssembly Bill 5, sponsored by San Diego Assembly member Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher, extended the ABC test to a range of labor laws beyond those regulating wages and hours, including the stateвЂ™s unemployment insurance code and, effective July 1, CaliforniaвЂ™s workers compensation law. The California Supreme CourtвЂ™s landmark Dynamex ruling in 2018 requires hiring entities that wish to classify workers as independent contractors rather than employees for purposes of the stateвЂ™s wage and hour rules to pass all three parts of an вЂњABCвЂќ test.
