Policy Agenda

We support efforts to codify and restore established joint-employer policy, to restore certainty and predictability for both employers and employees.

We support proposals that maintain the integrity and goals of the Americans with Disabilities Act while preventing abusive lawsuits.

A common-sense definition of a 40-hour workweek for full-time employees under the Affordable Care Act will provide immediate relief to employers and boost employee hours, flexibility and income.

The Affordable Care Act needs a clear, consistent definition of seasonal employment. The law's confusing definitions create challenges for small businesses.

We support legislation to streamline and modernize the employer reporting process under the Affordable Care Act.

We urge Congress to pass a technical correction and restore 15-year restaurant depreciation.

The National Restaurant Association is working closely with the FDA to ensure a smooth transition for the new federal menu labeling law.

We support border security, a path to legalization, a viable essential worker program, and an efficient federal employment verification program.
