Most recently, the DOL had gone back and forth on its standard which made waves in the industry.
The Department of Labor recently released an opinion letter that offered guidance for gig economy companies in regards to workers being classified as independent contractors, and not subject to the minimum wage and overtime requirements required by the FLSA. This white paper reviews this recent opinion letter and how the DOL’s previous uncertainty made it difficult for businesses to grow and plan for the future.
