Nearly a year into work from home orders and COVID-19, we can reflect on the one-year anniversary of California’s worker classification law, Assembly Bill 5 (“AB 5”), which was signed into law in September 2019 and effective January 1, 2020. AB 5 codified the California Supreme Court decision in Dynamex Operations West, Inc. v. Superior Court of Los Angeles (2018) and expanded the scope of the “ABC Test” for worker classification in the state. Over the course of its first year, AB 5 has faced a number of hurdles, including legal challenges and ballot-based initiatives.
