The Biden administration has implemented a new labor rule to prevent the misclassification of workers as “independent contractors.” The rule aims to prevent employers from exploiting lax rules to misclassify workers and avoid providing proper compensation, such as minimum wages and benefits. Gig economy platforms like Uber, Lyft, and DoorDash express confidence that the rule won’t force them to reclassify gig workers. However, business groups warn of uncertainty for employers, emphasizing the importance of how the Labor Department decides to enforce the rule.
