WHD Independent Contractor Final Rule Announcement
Thursday, November 19th, 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. ET
The Department of Labor plans to publish the Independent Contractor Final Rule, titled "Employee or Independent Contractor Status Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, Family and Medical Leave Act, and Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act." The new rule will clarify how to determine employee or independent contractor status by replacing the 2024 analysis with the earlier 2021 rule's "economic reality" test, which assesses a worker's economic dependence on the employer through five factors, focusing on control and opportunity for profit or loss.
