Employers and businesses are faced with new challenges regarding Joint Employer and Independent Contractor focus and rule changes. The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has a new Joint Employer Rule, set to take effect in March 2024. The Department of Labor (DOL) has issued a new six-factor test for evaluating independent contractor versus employee classifications under the Fair Labor Standards Act.

These departures from the prior administration's focus can be difficult to understand. Join us for an information-packed webinar as we:

• Discuss the NLRB’s new Joint Employer Rule. We will address:
  • What is the Joint Employer rule?
  • How has it changed?
  • How will it affect employers and businesses?
• Explain the DOL's new six-factor test for evaluating independent contractor versus employee classifications. These questions will be answered:
  • What is the new DOL rule?
  • How has it changed?
  • How will it affect employers and business?
• Provide best practices and recommendations in light of the changing landscape with respect to the Joint Employer and Independent Contractor focus and rule changes. Hopefully, this allows our clients and businesses to comply with their ongoing employment obligations and to better navigate this challenging space in the law.
