Private Law Theory

ABSTRACT
Many states have enacted laws that benefit workers designated ’employees’ as distinguished from ‘independent contractors’. This Article deals primarily with legislation designed to define the term employee with sufficient clarity so as to avoid or thwart misclassification. It focuses on California’s recent and robust legislative efforts which, though praiseworthy, still require some additional work.
