The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) published its Final Rule on Employee or Independent Contractor Classification in the Federal Register on Jan. 10, 2024, to provide guidance for employers in determining worker classification under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). An employee is entitled to wage and hour protections under the FLSA that would not be available to a worker classified as an independent contractor.
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.
