The status of independent contractors in California has been a hot button issue the past few years starting with the landmark decision in Dynamex Operations West, Inc. v. Superior Court (2018) 4 Cal.5th 903. The legislature attempted to carve out exceptions to Dynamex’s strict “ABC” test with the passage of AB5, which was so convoluted that it required a further legislative attempt at clarification which happened with AB2257. Thereafter, we had a specific industry carve out their own exemption with Proposition 22. All of this has created a lot of confusion for California employers as they try to determine who, if anyone, can still be properly classified as an independent contractor.
Topics will include:
- A look at the historical journey that got us to the current state of independent contractors
- Analysis of how to apply the current rules
- Guidance on how to avoid expensive misclassification mistakes
