The More You Know: Independent Contractor v. Employee with Kate Mowry

Independent Contractor or Employee?
 
This one detail has an immense effect on employment and unemployment claims. On January 5th, the U.S. Department of Labor developed a multi-factor test determining whether workers are independent contractors for purposes of the FLSA regarding overtime and minimum wage issues.

Our very own Kate Mowry takes a deep dive into the world of worker’s compensation and how Colorado uses a “right of control” test to identify whether a worker is an employee or an independent contractor.
