    <description>Prong B, the second of the three ABC criteria. A consultant who performs a professional services firm's core service is working within that firm's usual course of business, so the firm can satisfy the second criterion only by the alternative route, showing the service is performed outside all of its places of business. New Jersey puts the burden on the business, and failure on any one criterion classifies the worker as an employee.</description>

    <description>A freelancer who wins a late-payment claim under the Freelance Isn't Free Act recovers double damages plus reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. A missing written contract carries two hundred fifty dollars in statutory damages. The Attorney General may seek civil penalties of one, two or three thousand dollars depending on how many violations there have been, and separately, in a civil action, the trier of fact may impose up to twenty-five thousand dollars for a pattern or practice of violations.</description>

    <description>No. None of the three bans non-compete agreements. Each asks whether the restriction is reasonable. New York's ban was vetoed in 2023. Pennsylvania bans them for health care practitioners alone.</description>

    <title>Do New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania use the ABC test for worker classification?</title>

    <description>New Jersey uses the ABC test. New York and Pennsylvania do not. New York uses a common-law control test, ABC-style only in construction and goods transport. Pennsylvania uses a two-part test.</description>
