Updated: Nov 14

In May 2025, the United States Department of Labor’s (DOL) Wage and Hour Division announced that it would not enforce or apply the 2024 Final Rule regarding independent contractor classification (“2024 Rule”). Specifically, the DOL directed its investigators “not to apply the 2024 Rule’s analysis” in enforcement matters. The DOL’s announcement will remove the obstacles to classify workers as independent contractors at the federal level. While the 2024 Rule remains in effect for private litigation and certain state-specific tests still impose higher worker classification standards than the current federal guidelines, the DOL’s announcement is favorable for legitimate independent contractors.
