More contractors amid the pandemic? Discover current and evolving classification rules.

Many organizations are working with more contractors as COVID-19 drives consumer demand for online shopping and home deliveries. Safety restrictions require greater effort to maintain productivity while the economic downturn discourages employers from hiring full-time staff, creating additional needs for temporary help.

The rules are changing:

In September, The U.S. Department of Labor released proposed regulations that alter the federal FLSA test of independent contractor status.
In California, Proposition 22 passed on November 3, exempting Uber and Lyft from treating their drivers as employees.
Earlier this year in Pennsylvania, a judge ruled that Uber drivers are genuine independent contractors.
Lyft drivers in Massachusetts have launched a class action suit, seeking employee benefits under the Emergency Sick Leave Act.

You need to understand the detailed and evolving rules and revisit how your workers are classified.
