The Fair Play Act protects anyone who works for a construction business. This law makes sure businesses give workers their rights.

Businesses cannot call workers independent contractors unless:

• The worker is free to do their job without direction or control.
• The work they do is separate from the business's usual work.
• The worker has their own business.

Employee benefits

Employees, contractors and subcontractors who do not meet these rules must get certain benefits, including:

• Unemployment insurance
• Worker's compensation
• Overtime pay

Payment for wages must be on time and above the minimum wage. All are entitled to a safe work environment.

Posting requirements

• Required notice: Businesses must post a notice about the Fair Play Act in workplaces.
• Spanish notice: If many workers speak Spanish, the notice must be in Spanish.

Penalties

Businesses that break the law will be punished.
