On May 5, the U.S. Department of Labor withdrew its prior rule on the classification of independent contractors. The prior rule from the Trump administration had made it easier for businesses to classify workers as independent contractors, rather than employees. The Department of Labor's wage and hour division announced the withdrawal of the existing rule, which became effective upon its publication on May 6. The announcement can be accessed at //public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2021-09518.pdf.
