Gig workers are predicted to make up 40% of the workforce by 2020. While the flexibility and benefits for both businesses and workers are valuable, this growing segment of the workforce brings new and unexpected challenges. Now more than ever, employers are utilizing outside workers to support their business model, supplement their business needs, and minimize their costs. However, it is critical to understand the evolving implications of using temporary workers, independent contractors, and employees from staffing agencies and PEOs under the FLSA, Title VII, NLRA and common law. Learning Objectives: Identify the types of positions that are transitioning in the gig economy; Navigate the legal maze of issues and developing law nationwide that govern temporary works; Address the proper classifications of individuals as employees, versus independent contractors and project-based work workers.
