Businesses Will Struggle To Classify Workers As Independent Contractors Under Federal Law Due To Recent Developments Concerning Independent Contractors
Original Program Date :
This presentation will cover recent developments concerning independent contractor laws. There will be a discussion concerning the Department of Labor’s rescindment of a 2021 independent contractor rule, which it replaced with a multifactor analysis used by the courts, making it more likely that workers will be classified as employees. Additionally, we will cover the recent Atlanta Opera decision by the National Labor Relations Board, which also makes it significantly harder for businesses to classify workers as independent contractors.
