On Jan. 10, 2024, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) published its final rule (effective March 11) on distinguishing employees from independent contractors for purposes of minimum wage and overtime pay under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). By narrowing the scope of who is and is not a “contractor” under a new legal test, the final rule will have a significant impact on the estimated 59 million people in the United States who perform “1099 work” – and on employer budgets.

Under the new rule, many workers currently treated as contractors will have to be reclassified as employees and, going forward, it will be more difficult to engage workers as independent contractors. This webinar will analyze the rule’s key provisions and provide valuable insights to help employers navigate the DOL’s these new ground rules on worker classification.
