A new Department of Labor (DOL) Independent Contractor (IC) Rule went into effect on March 11, 2024. The new IC Standard is now the guide to determine whether a worker is an employee of a company or is self-employed and therefore “independent” from the company. If the worker is independent, then the relationship with the company is governed by the contract for services and the worker does not have the benefits or protections that attach to being an employee.
