    Independent Contractor or Employee: Court Tackles Issue Once Again

    By Christian Petrucci | August 3, 2017

    As outlined in this space back in June, the nature of an ­employment relationship is a question of law that is to be determined on a ­case-by-case basis. The Commonwealth Court case of Hawbaker v. Workers' Compensation Appeal Board, (Kriner's Quality Roofing Services and UEGF), 224 C.D. 2016, ­provided a springboard for discussing under what circumstances an injured worker can be considered an employee versus an independent contractor. Hawbaker also ­offered a comparison between the ­"traditional" factors in determining whether an ­employer-employee relationship exists and the ­specific statutory requirements of the 2010 Construction Workplace Misclassification Act (CWMA), which sought to codify criteria for ­classification of independent contractors in construction settings.

    The Obstacles to Private Resolution of FLSA Claims

    By Andrea M. Kirshenbaum | July 28, 2017

    A question that has bedeviled ­employers for decades: Can employers obtain a release of claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) in the absence of U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) or court approval? A recent decision in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, Gaughan v. Rubenstein, adds more fuel to the fire, ­dismissing a plaintiff's FLSA claims against Lee Rubenstein and holding that the ­plaintiff's "pre-litigation settlement agreement" released her FLSA claims, even without the imprimatur of the DOL or a court.
