What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
