Classifying employees as independent contractors is one of the hottest areas of litigation and enforcement across an array of government agencies. It can also be an extremely complex area for even diligent companies to navigate with ­different rules applicable to different laws—from the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) to Title VII and everything in between. Today's gig economy often blurs the lines even further as ongoing litigation involving workers as diverse as Uber and Lyft drivers, U.S. Open tennis umpires, and exotic dancers ­demonstrates.

The concept release sought comment on modernizing certain disclosure requirements under Regulation S-K. In particular, the concept release requested feedback on the importance of sustainability ­matters, including climate change. Corporation Finance Director Keith Higgins recently reported that the highest number of comments on the Concept Release related to "improved sustainability disclosure."
