Obama's IC Bill Still In Committee
Senator Obama's Senate bill confronting independent contractor classification is currently in the Senate Finance Committee. In case you haven't been tracking this issue, the bill was introduced last September and would allow the U.S. Treasury to wield a whole lot more power than it currently does. In one sense it would 'take the muzzle off' the dogs of enforcement. In addition, the bill will also eliminate the "everybody's doing it" defense of industry practice as a justification for worker misclassification.
If the bill becomes law, it would dramatically shift the landscape of contractor classification. Industries known to habitually misclassify workers would be fair game for investigation, and information for workers about proper classification would be added to the Department of Labor's workplace signage to help make sure every worker understands their labor rights.
