Employer reliance on independent contractors has continued to attract the time and attention of courts, regulators and litigants. Notably, the New York Joint Enforcement Task Force on Employee Misclassification recently issued its Annual Report stating that the New York Department of Labor found 133,000 workers were misclassified as independent contractors in 2014. See NYS Dep’t of Labor, Annual Report of the Joint Enforcement Task Force on Employee Misclassification (Feb. 1, 2015).
As this month also marks the one-year anniversary of the New York Commercial Goods Transportation Industry Fair Play Act, we thought it would be a good time to review the requirements of that law. The column also discusses other developments regarding independent contractors over the course of the last year, including the National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB) new test for independent contractor misclassification, and notable rulings by New Jersey and California courts.
