New Rules: Who is an Employee, Who is an Independent Contractor?
This bill changes how companies and the government determine if someone is an employee or an independent contractor. This could affect your rights to employee benefits like minimum wage or overtime if you work as an independent contractor. The changes aim to make it easier for companies to hire independent contractors, which might offer more work flexibility but could also impact access to traditional employee benefits.
Key points
The bill introduces new criteria to clearly define when an individual is an independent contractor, not an employee.
Key factors include whether the company controls the details of how the work is performed, not just the final result.
Factors like requiring compliance with legal rules, safety standards, or carrying insurance will no longer determine employee status.
These changes could impact your eligibility for minimum wage, overtime, and other employee benefits if you are an independent contractor.
