NLRB Overrules Browning-Ferris Industries and Reinstates Prior Joint Employer Standard | Practical Law
In Hy-Brand Industrial Contractors, Ltd., the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) overruled Browning-Ferris Industries, and returned to the standard that governed joint employer liability before that 2015 decision, specifically that joint employer status exists if the alleged joint employer entities have exercised joint control over essential employment terms, the control was "direct and immediate," and the control was not "limited and routine."
