Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill requires the Unemployment Insurance Division in the Department of Workforce Development to coordinate with the Division of Personnel Management in the Department of Administration to review all recruitment and onboarding programs to ensure that auditor positions are correctly classified and the compensation for auditors is comparable to that in the private labor market. The bill also requires DWD to review resources available to investigators and auditors and evaluate potential strategies and improvements that could be implemented by the department. The bill also requires DWD to submit a report to the legislature of its findings no later than January 31, 2025.
Finally, the bill authorizes three full-time positions for DWD to perform investigations and audits regarding worker misclassification.
