Department of Labor Independent Contractors Ruling - HR Minute with The Workplace Advisors

On January 9th, 2024, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) announced a final rule aimed at clarifying the distinction between employees and independent contractors. Claudia St. John of The Workplace Advisors breaks down this rule and addresses the six factors that guide the analysis of a worker's relationship with an employer.

This ruling holds immense significance for workers and employers nationwide. This rule not only provides guidance on proper classification but also tackles the issue of employee misclassification, which has far-reaching implications on workers' rights, fair competition, and more.

The new “independent contractor” rule restores the multifactor analysis used by courts for decades, ensuring that all relevant factors are analyzed to determine whether a worker is an employee or an independent contractor.

The final rule takes effect on March 11, 2024. We are here to help. Our HR Support Plan can help your stay compliant and ensure proper workforce management.
