If you’re a freelancer in Los Angeles, you just got new protections in your work.
Freelance workers in Los Angeles are set to receive more protections with the Los Angeles City Council’s adoption on Friday, Feb. 24, of an ordinance intended to protect the industry.
The ordinance requires that any contract of $600 or more between employers and freelance workers must be in writing, with a date by which the freelancer must be paid. If the contract doesn’t include a date or if there is no written contract, employers must pay freelancers within 30 days after the work is completed.
Blumenfield argued, “This isn’t just about editors or graphic artists, this is about all freelancers and independent contractors like domestic workers who ‘work their tails off’ and remain vulnerable to unfair pay disputes and other issues.”
