Senate Approves Repeal of NLRB Joint Employer Rule

Many groups, including SHRM, support the repeal

On April 10, the U.S. Senate narrowly approved repealing a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) joint employer rule making it easier for employers that contract employees from other companies to be deemed a joint employer.

The U.S. House of Representatives also had voted to repeal the rule, but President Joe Biden is expected to veto the repeal. The rule was blocked March 8 by a district court judge in Texas.

SHRM supports the repeal and advocates for a return to the 2021 rule that stated only businesses with direct and immediate control over employees' working conditions are joint employers.
