Overview

Uber and various other “on demand services” businesses are only the latest in a long string of companies under attack for allegedly misclassifying employees as independent contractors.  What was once an issue most employers rarely faced outside of local unemployment eligibility proceedings has now morphed into the latest class action craze.  And—as with so many other wage and hour issues—there are many millions of dollars at stake. 

Please join Allan S. Bloom, the partner chair of Proskauer Rose LLP’s Wage and Hour Practice Group, for a one-hour discussion on the root causes of worker misclassification claims and the steps companies can take to minimize their exposure.   Topics will include: 

  • What makes a worker an “employee”
  • Who you can still pay on a 1099 basis
  • The many risks of worker misclassification
  • Eliminating the “bad facts” for employers in misclassification cases
  • How to effectively pass the risk to vendors and other third parties
