For decades, there have been issues with businesses trying to understand what is and what is not permissible as it relates to classifying workers as independent contractors.

New guidance handed down from the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) could drastically alter the landscape of how companies classify and hire employees. As a result of the new DOL guidance, more independent contractors may actually be defined as employees.

The beauty of outsourcing work to independent contractors is that you get the benefit of the services and no responsibilities, except for timely payment, right? While you might need workers’ compensation insurance in case your employees are injured on the job, you have no such responsibility toward your independent contractors, right? If the independent contractor sustains an injury while on your premises doing work for you, well that’s their problem, isn’t it?
