Webinar: US Dept of Labor Proposed Rule – The Independent Contractor Test

  • 2023-05-03
  • 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Join us to walk through the conceptual concerns raised by the US Department of Labor’s comments in its proposed rule for a rescission of the Trump Era test and the new spin on a pre-existing economic realities test. We will highlight key provisions and next steps to give attendees insight and information to prepare for a new wave of legal challenges to Independent Contractor (IC) classification at the federal level.

You’ll also learn more about what the Government Affairs Committee has been doing in partnership with the Small Business Administration to help craft favorable additions and changes to the proposed rule.

This webinar is only open to active members of CLDA.
