The Department of Labor Withdrawal for Independent Contractors

Learning Objectives

To identify the nuts and bolts of the ABC test under AB5
To recognize when a worker may meet an exemption under AB5 or AB2257
To discuss the impact of Proposition 22 on businesses
To discuss the impact of the recent Department of Labor rule for classifying independent contractors under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
To develop an action plan to assess your business's compliance with AB5 and mitigate any risk

Course Description

On May 5th, 2021, the Department of Labor withdrew the “Independent Contractor Status Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)” final rule, which went into effect immediately on May 6th, 2021. This final ruling clarifies the standard for classification by determining whether an individual is in business for themselves or is economically dependent on an employer for work.

The department has withdrawn the rule for several reasons, including:

The independent contractor rule was in tension with the FLSA’s text and purpose, as well as relevant judicial precedent.
The rule’s prioritization of two “core factors” for determining employee status under the FLSA would have undermined the longstanding balancing approach of the economic realities test and court decisions requiring a review of the totality of the circumstances related to the employment relationship.
The rule would have narrowed the facts and considerations comprising the analysis of whether a worker is an employee or an independent contractor, resulting in workers losing FLSA protections.

The main difference between this new ruling and AB5 is that the FLSA does not prevent states from setting up broader wage and hour protections. Thus, some states could potentially be unaffected by this ruling.

To help you navigate the complexities of this new ruling, we will discuss employee classification and the use of independent contractors in California as well as the Department of Labor’s most recent rulings.

Key topics covered in this online CPE webinar:

Why does classification matter?
Who qualifies as an independent contractor?
What is the new rule?

Great presenter, but wow. Every time I sign up for a law program, I am overwhelmed by the boundless legislative overreach. "If it moves - tax it. If it still moves - regulate it. If it stops moving - subsidize it." To California, I will never go!

Susan Martin, CPA (US)

Great use of time. I thought I knew most of these rules but the speaker introduced rules I had no idea existed. I appreciate her easy manner and introducing some of the not so obvious regulations.

Nick Shields, CPA (US)

Presenter was very knowledgeable on the subject and helped simplify the employee vs independent contractor definition

Marlene Baker, CPA (US)

Daniela Tesio, PHR
