Protections for Socially Good Activities Act
This bill specifies that certain activities do not establish an employment relationship between a franchisor and a franchisee (or their respective employees) for the purpose of certain federal labor laws.
Specifically, an employment relationship is not formed if the franchisor carries out activities that include
- providing, or otherwise requiring the use of, certain training or other materials related to sexual harassment, workplace violence, or discrimination;
- requiring the adoption of certain policies related to sexual harassment, workplace violence, or discrimination;
- requiring the adoption of a policy based on COVID-19; or
- providing personal protective equipment during the COVID-19 pandemic.
