On September 22, 2020, JNCL-NCLIS attended a briefing hosted by the U.S. Department of Labor (Department) regarding a proposed rule addressing how to determine whether a worker is an employee under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) or an independent contractor.

"Unlike AB-5, our rule doesn’t propose radical changes in who’s classified as an employee or independent contractor," said Eugene Scalia, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Labor. "Instead, our rule aims to simplify, clarify and harmonize principles the federal courts have espoused for decades when determining what workers are “employees” covered by the minimum wage and overtime pay requirements of the FLSA."
