Ohio SB423 clarifies the employment status of health care workers using platforms.

Ohio SB423 specifies that a health care worker is not considered an employee of a health care worker platform or facility if certain conditions are met. These include the platform allowing workers to choose shifts freely, not requiring minimum shifts, and not restricting other occupations. The bill also mandates that platforms maintain certain insurances and do not require noncompete agreements or restrict shift acceptance from other platforms or facilities. Health care workers remain responsible for their own taxes and can accept shifts during leave periods.
