  • Two recent developments on independent contractor law are headed in different directions. The post New Jersey, feds take opposite paths on independent contractor rules appeared first on FreightWaves.

The article from Yahoo News discusses the contrasting approaches of New Jersey and the federal government towards independent contractors. New Jersey is moving towards stricter regulations, with a new law set to take effect in May that will make it more difficult for companies to classify workers as independent contractors. This law aims to protect workers by ensuring they receive benefits and protections that employees are entitled to. On the other hand, the federal government, under the Trump administration, has been pushing for more lenient regulations, making it easier for companies to classify workers as independent contractors. This approach is seen as more business-friendly but has raised concerns about worker exploitation and loss of benefits. The article highlights the ongoing debate and the potential impact of these divergent policies on workers and businesses.
