Representing the family-owned company Colt & Joe Trucking, NCLA asks the court to overturn this rule, which leaves small businesses like theirs completely unable to hire independent contractors without risking FLSA liability.

Key Points: 
  • Representing the family-owned company Colt & Joe Trucking, NCLA asks the court to overturn this rule, which leaves small businesses like theirs completely unable to hire independent contractors without risking FLSA liability.
  • The Labor Department previously maintained a 2021 rule that generally allowed businesses to classify workers as independent contractors if they exercised independent judgment and control over their work and could profit as a result.
  • NCLA released the following statements:
    “The Department is replacing a simple standard for determining whether a worker is an independent contractor or employee under the Act with a vague and indecipherable one.
  • Rather than clarify the law, this rule seeks to obtain a political goal Congress did not adopt when enacting the FLSA, namely dramatically reducing the number of independent contractors.”
