Pennsylvania SB316 amends the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act to redefine "employee" and "independent contractor.

Pennsylvania SB316 amends the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act to redefine "employee" as an individual subject to an employer's control over hiring, firing, training, scheduling, directing work, and proscribing work methods. It excludes casual home workers and those employed under a contract. The bill also redefines "independent contractor" to include those subject to state licensing laws or the Fair Housing Act, and those performing services for remuneration under a contract. The changes aim to clarify employment statuses and their implications under the Human Relations Act.
