Employers Misclassification of Independent Contractors
Is that independent contractor truly an independent contractor in the eyes of DOL? To be or not to be independent contractors — that is an enormous question for employers these days. The U.S. Department of Labor has made the misclassification of workers as independent contractors, rather than employees, a key enforcement priority. In its recently released five-year Final Strategic Plan, the DOL states that it will focus resources, enforcement efforts and regulatory activity towards detecting and deterring employers who misclassify “employees” covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) as independent contractors. Independent contractor misclassification is an area employers better become familiar for their own protection.
