The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has issued a significant 2026 proposed rule regarding Independent Contractor classification under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). This proposal rescinds the 2024 rule and reintroduces a revised economic reality framework that may substantially impact how businesses classify workers as employees or independent contractors.
HR leaders cannot confidently classify workers as employees or independent contractors because the federal standard keeps changing — and misclassification carries severe financial and legal consequences.
This webinar provides a comprehensive breakdown of the 2026 proposal, key differences from prior rules, compliance risks, and practical steps organizations should take to mitigate worker misclassification exposure
