NY, April 21, 2024 – Google has scrapped its rules requiring suppliers and staffing firms to pay their employees a minimum wage and provide them with certain benefits. The rule had been in place since 2020 and required suppliers to pay their employees at least $15 per hour and provide them with benefits such as health insurance and paid time off.
