On July 15, 2015, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) issued Administrator’s Interpretation No. 2015-1 to address misclassification of independent contractors under the wage and hour requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Also, on June 30, 2015, the DOL issued a proposed regulation amending the exemption tests for “white collar” employees under the FLSA. Both of these actions highlight the need for employers to re-examine their classifications of individuals as contractors or as exempt from overtime pay requirements.
