Workshop 5
New Independent Contractor Rule and OFCCP Compliance
Michael Bracken and Danny Petrella, Employment Advisory Services, Inc. (EASI)
The U.S. Department of Labor is expected to finalize its updated independent contractor rule sometime in 2023, which will likely make it harder for employers to label workers as independent contractors, resulting in millions of workers gaining employee status. Such a change will have significant ripple effects throughout the workplace compliance landscape, including OFCCP reporting, recordkeeping, monitoring, and other regulatory requirements. In this session, we’ll discuss the impact of a new independent contractor rule on OFCCP and other employee-related compliance obligations.
