36: The Legal Stuff You Need To Know: Real Talk About AB-5 with Emily D. Baker

 

Today we are talking all about the California law that is affecting service providers all over the country.  California Assembly Bill 5 (AB5), also known as the “gig worker bill,” is a piece of legislation signed into law in September 2019. It requires companies to reclassify contractors into employees. As a service provider, how can this law affect you? Is there a way around it? What effect does it have on your business if you have California based clients?

In this episode, we will dive into the details of AB5 with lawyer, Emily Baker as she makes a very unfun topic relatable.  Listen in as we uncomplicate this matter and zero-in on its implications to writers, VAs, and other contractors. We also discuss the importance of having a business that’s solid and prepared for changes now.

Emily D. Baker left her 10-year career to help serve online business owners as they start and grow their business. She has helped hundreds of entrepreneurs get their business life right so they can focus on their zone of genius.
