Title: Joint Employment | |
Abstract: The legislative history of the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (MSPA) indicates that the principles found in Hodgson v. Griffin and Brand, 471 F.2d 235, are to be followed in determining whether a joint employment relationship exists in the employment of migrant and seasonal farm workers in a given fact situation. The Department intends to publish an NPRM to solicit comments on a clarification of the regulations to more closely comport with the legislative history of MSPA and the principles found in Hodgson v. Griffin and Brand and also possible modifications to the procedures for MSPA hearings, seeking more timely decisions. In addition, Public Law 104-49 (November 15, 1995) amended MSPA's private right of action, transportation insurance requirements, and disclosure obligations to agricultural workers. Implementing regulations were published May 16, 1996 (61 FR 24858), for the revised transportation insurance requirements. The joint employer NPRM was published March 29, 1996 (61 FR 14035). | |
