Bill S.B. 157
This bill would amend Kansas Employment Security Law and authorize the Attorney General to investigate alleged or suspected violations involving misclassification of workers, which is defined as knowingly and intentionally misclassifying an employee as an independent contractor for the sole or primary purpose of avoiding either state income tax withholding and reporting requirements or state unemployment insurance contributions reporting requirements.
The bill also would increase penalties for such misclassification to $50 per day per misclassified employee up to a maximum amount of $50,000.
