    Michigan Legislature Is Mulling An ABC Test

    October 13, 2023 // The local Chamber of Commerce warns there will be no exemptions for Michigan’s independent workers (unlike California’s AB5 which exempted over 100 occupations). The Great Lake State currently employs the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) 20-factor test, which is more amenable and receptive to flexible work arrangements. HB 4391, on the other hand, would create an independent contractor disclosure notice to “self-report alleged misclassification issues” to accompany HB 4390. This timing isn’t coincidental. Michigan repealed its right-to-work law earlier this year. As I noted at IWF back in April, here’s the immediate fallout from repealing right-to-work:
