Overview:

The Department of Labor recently released its final rules on Independent Contractors vs Employees. Here's a few headlines to be aware of.

US Department of Labor recovers $532K in back wages after employer misclassifies them as contractors.

A federal investigation has recovered $113,613 in back wages and liquidated damages from a New York City hotel management company that denied employees their full-earned wages, including overtime, by misclassifying many of the affected workers as independent contractors.

A federal court in Virginia has entered a judgment ordering a Norfolk-based medical staffing agency, which intentionally violated federal laws by classifying their workers as independent contractors and denied employees their rightfully earned overtime wages, to pay more than $7.2 million in back wages and liquidated damages. As you can see, violating the law regarding independent contractors can be very expensive.
