GAINESVILLE, Ga. — The United States Department of Labor has put forward a new regulation that would change titles for employees. Some employees could be called independent contractors. The DOL is trying to terminate the rule that was established in January 2021. The current rule also attempted to revise the criteria that is used to define an employee’s status.
If the new regulation goes to the finalization process, it will replace the current rule. The new rule gives six standards to aid an evaluation of the economic certainties of a working relationship between an employer and independent contractor.
