The Knowledge Group Has Scheduled a Live Webcast on Independent Contractor Under the Fair Labor Standards Act
The Knowledge Group, the leading producer of regulatory focused webcasts, announced today that it has scheduled a live webcast entitled: Independent Contractor Under the Fair Labor Standards Act: Navigating Complexities.
- (1888PressRelease) December 01, 2022 - This event is scheduled on December 12, 2022, from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM (ET).
Event Summary:
Worker misclassification has perpetually posed serious challenges for many businesses and companies alike. Today, the number of misclassified workers as independent contractors continues to grow, across all industries, despite shifting regulatory initiatives.
The US Department of Labor recently announced its plan to issue a new Independent Contractor (IC) Final Rule under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). While the proposed change will aid in ensuring protection for workers under the FLSA, it will also generate profound compliance hurdles for companies. In order to avoid penalties and non-compliance, companies must keep themselves adept with the new rule, its implications, and potential drawbacks. Moreover, companies must understand that learning about, and implementing, best practices for correct employee classification is imperative to mitigate risks.
Listen as The Knowledge Group presents experienced litigator Steven Siegler (KI Legal) and labor and employment attorney Jackie C. Staple (Jackson Walker LLP) to discuss the most significant issues and challenges surrounding the independent contractor law landscape. The distinguished speakers will share fresh insights and best practices to successfully navigate through the complexities of the evolving worker classification landscape based on their experience.
Key topics that will be covered in this discussion are:
- Independent Contractor: Final Rule
- Regulatory Changes: Potential Impact on the Businesses
- Practical Toolkit: Most Widely Used Classification Tests
- Emerging Compliance Issues: Mitigating Risks and Penalties
- What’s Next
