New York Passes Independent Contractor Law for Construction Workers
As reported in the Wage & Hour Counsel blog, NY State passed a law designed to protect constructions workers from being misclassified as independent contractors.
The law imposes fines and even jail time for violations.
But this law only protects construction workers. What about all of the other workers in New York who are being misclassified as independent contractors? Why did NY limit this law to only construction workers? This law should apply to all workers who are misclassified as independent contractors.
