Biden Reversing Trump Labor Rule To Prevent Misuse Of 'Independent Contractor' Status

HuffPost

The regulation would make it harder for employers to misclassify workers as a way to exclude them from basic protections and benefits.

The Biden administration is releasing a new labor regulation that would make it harder for employers to skirt minimum wage and overtime obligations by labeling workers as “independent contractors.”

The final rule, announced Tuesday and slated to go into effect March 11, seeks to crack down on employee misclassification. Administration officials say that, though many workers may be legitimately independent, others are merely categorized that way as a cost-cutting maneuver by their employers.

It is likely the new rule will be challenged in court by business groups. But Julie Su, the acting labor secretary, argued that it was a commonsense regulation meant to prevent the most vulnerable workers from being taken advantage of.

“I have traveled and talked to workers across the country who are working full time year-round and still struggle to make ends meet because of misclassification,” Su said on a call with reporters. “They sometimes work side by side with individuals who are properly classified doing the same work. But misclassified employees don’t get paid for all of their hours.”

She called misclassification “one of the key ways wage theft and exploitation happen.”
