Overview

Allegations of worker misclassification remain front and center in 2016.  Federal and state government agencies continue to devote substantial resources to challenging classifications, and employers that rely heavily on contracted labor are increasingly under attack.  The plaintiffs’ bar is right in the middle of the fray, filing multi-million dollar lawsuits as part of the latest wage and hour class-action craze.  

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 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
