Legal Alert: Independent Contractor Rules Rewritten in California

This legal alert was posted on September 11^th 2019, by James Fessenden in San Diego.

It looks at a new California law that would make it much more difficult for businesses to treat workers as independent contractors and hire small businesses, and would grant workers across the state increased pay, benefits, and protections. While there are exceptions that may apply, businesses that do not comply with the new law or misclassify their workers risk significant legal exposure.
