Whitmer\u2019s Michigan Jobs First will do just that by ensuring businesses who want a public contract are transparent and follow good business practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBy requiring disclosure, we are guaranteeing that our hardworking residents will receive a fair day\u2019s wage and health care benefits when they work on a state project to build a better Michigan. This initiative will not only help rebuild an equitable economy post-pandemic, but also make sure that future contractors can\u2019t cheat people out of wages or cheat the state by avoiding taxes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The executive directive requires businesses who bid on state projects to complete a vendor questionnaire and to confirm workers are classified as employees, rather than independent contractors, also known as 1099 workers. This information will be utilized by state purchasers as they consider bids and review a business\u2019 practices \u2014 including adherence to labor and employment laws and regulations, their environmental track records, and their investment in Michigan\u2019s economically distressed areas \u2014 when deciding with whom to contract, and it will help keep good-paying jobs here in Michigan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">###<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LANSING, Mich.
