SB1363

Missouri SB1363 amends state law to clarify that a franchisee and its employees are not considered employees of the franchisor unless the franchisor.

Missouri SB1363 amends Chapter 285 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri by adding a new section, 285.075. This section specifies that a franchisee and its employees will not be deemed employees of the franchisor unless the franchisor directly and immediately controls the hiring, termination, discipline, and direction of the franchisee's employees. This provision overrides any voluntary agreements between the Department of Labor and a franchisee or franchisor. The terms "franchisee" and "franchisor" are defined as per 16 CFR 436.1.
