A written agreement calling someone an “independent contractor” won’t save you from liability if the working relationship tells another story. A recent Eleventh Circuit decision reinforces what courts have long held: It’s the economic reality of the relationship – not the label – that determines employment status under the FLSA. In this fast-paced 60-minute webinar, we’ll walk through the Scantland six-factor test, explore the growing legal risks of misclassification, and unpack the Galarza case to show how companies – even those using third-party staffing vendors – can find themselves exposed. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of how to assess your current contractor relationships, common red flags to watch for, and how to structure engagements that reduce risk. We’ll also demonstrate how ComplianceHR’s Navigator IC helps employers walk through these complex determinations with confidence – generating defensible documentation and legal logic explanations aligned with Littler’s expertise.
