The Department of Labor recently released its final rules on Independent Contractors vs. Employees. Here’s a few headlines to be aware of:
US Department of Labor recovers $532K in back wages after employer misclassifies them as contractors.
A federal investigation has recovered $113,613 in back wages and liquidated damages from a New York City hotel management company that denied employees their full-earned wages, including overtime, by misclassifying many of the affected workers as independent contractors.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
A federal court in Virginia has entered a judgment ordering a Norfolk-based medical staffing agency, which intentionally violated federal laws and denied employees their rightfully earned overtime wages, to pay more than $7.2 million in back wages and liquidated damages.
The above penalties occurred BEFORE the new rules were issued. Violating the law regarding independent contractors can be very expensive.
Don’t become one of those companies that is forced to pay hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars because they do not know the rules.
