National Labor Relations Board: Standard for Determining Joint Employer Status

Skip to Highlights

Highlights

 

GAO reviewed the National Labor Relations Board's (NLRB) new rule entitled "Standard for Determining Joint Employer Status." GAO found that the final rule (1) rescinds and replaces the final rule titled "Joint Employer Status Under the National Labor Relations Act," which was published on February 26, 2020, and took effect on April 27, 2020; and (2) establishes a new standard for determining whether two employers, as defined in the Act, are joint employers of particular employees within the meaning of the Act.

Enclosed is our assessment of NLRB's compliance with the procedural steps required by section 801(a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule. If you have any questions about this report or wish to contact GAO officials responsible for the evaluation work relating to the subject matter of the rule, please contact Shari Brewster, Assistant General Counsel, at (202) 512-6398.
