The U.S. Department of Labor, the Internal Revenue Service, and many state agencies have made the misclassification of workers as independent contractors, rather than employees, a key enforcement priority. The private bar has seized upon the issue as ripe for class action litigation, achieving multimillion dollar judgments, and settlements. The issue pits workers, who have a right to minimum wage, overtime, healthcare, and other benefits, against employers who find it difficult to harmonize the myriad of standards applied by different laws and agencies and in industries where contract labor is the norm.
