An Act relative to employee definition harmonization

This bill amends Massachusetts unemployment insurance laws to align the definition of an "employee" with the standard used by the federal government. Specifically, it removes a clause that previously excluded individuals whose work was performed outside the employer's usual business activities from receiving unemployment benefits. The change directly affects workers whose jobs do not fit within their company's standard operations, ensuring they are treated consistently with federal guidelines. By harmonizing these definitions, the legislation aims to clarify eligibility criteria for unemployment compensation without altering the overall benefit structure.
