In this episode of What the Heck is Happening in HR?, Kelley dives into the ever-shifting world of independent contractor classification—and why it matters now more than ever. With the political pendulum swinging once again, employers may find themselves facing new flexibility in how they engage workers… but also new risks if they don’t tread carefully.
Kelley breaks down key resources like Fact Sheet #13, opinion letter FLSA 2019-6, and how to interpret them under the current rules. She also explores what to watch for—like control factors, use of company resources, and the distinction between employees and contractors doing similar work.
If your business uses freelancers, consultants, or gig workers, this episode is essential listening. The rules may be loosening, but the scrutiny isn’t going away.
