The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) recently issued a final rule imposing stricter criteria for companies to classify workers as independent contractors. This rule, effective as of March 11, 2024, deviates from the previous administration's interpretation of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and may result in more lawsuits related to misclassification. These lawsuits, if filed as collective actions under the FLSA, can have significant implications for companies. Listen to learn more about the final rule, how companies may be affected, and steps that companies should consider to ensure that they are complying with the new developments in the law.
