Hawaii HB2587 establishes criteria for classifying delivery drivers as employees rather than independent contractors.

Hawaii HB2587 amends state statutes to clarify the employment status of delivery drivers. It deems delivery drivers as employees if they must complete deliveries within specified time frames and cannot decline delivery requests without facing penalties. This reclassification affects workers' compensation, wage and hour laws, temporary disability insurance, family leave, tax classification, and unemployment insurance. The bill voids any agreements classifying these drivers as independent contractors.
