California SB809 establishes the Construction Trucking Employer Amnesty Program to relieve construction contractors of penalties for misclassifying.

California SB809 introduces the Construction Trucking Employer Amnesty Program, allowing eligible construction contractors to avoid penalties for misclassifying drivers as independent contractors. Contractors must execute a settlement agreement with the Labor Commissioner, agreeing to reclassify drivers as employees, pay owed wages and taxes, and secure workers' compensation insurance. The program relieves contractors from certain penalties but not those involving fraud or evasion. Contractors must submit documentation and self-audit reports to the Labor Commissioner.
