Study: One Size Fits All Approach to Independent Contractors Ignores Value to California’s Economy
|
|
|
A wholesale reclassification of workers would have significant consequences for many different sectors in the state’s economy, according to a
recent study by Beacon Economics.
“Since the nature of, and reliance on independent contracting varies by industry, a one-size fits all policy ignores the complexity and nuance of such work arrangements, and the value they bring to California’s economy,” the study states.
As many employers know, the California Supreme Court outlined a new test in Dynamex Operations West, Inc. v. Superior Court, No. S222732 (April 30, 2018) to determine whether a worker must be classified as an employee, rather than as an independent contractor, and subject to all the laws governing wages, hours and rest breaks, as well as the withholding of taxes.
