Session 1 establishes the legal foundation for nonemployee engagements, beginning with a clear breakdown of worker classifications—contrasting W-2 employees, 1099 independent contractors, and staffing agency talent. The panel will walk through core evaluation criteria, including direction and control, economic dependence, and business integration, to ensure your organization accurately categorizes its workforce from day one.
From there, Littler attorneys will dive into recent federal regulatory shifts, unpacking updated standards and enforcement priorities from the DOL, NLRB, EEOC, and OSHA, including joint employer liability and host employer obligations. The session wraps up with a tactical look at restrictive covenants, explaining why traditional noncompetes fall short with independent contractors and how to construct enforceable NDAs, nonsolicit, and noncircumvent agreements instead.
