Following the decision in Dynamex Operations West, Inc. v. Superior Court of Los Angeles, employers have been coming to grips with the simple sounding, but difficult to discern, “ABC Test" for independent contractors. The ABC Test is particularly difficult to apply for operators that traditionally utilize “owner operators" to perform certain duties. The same is true for various vendors utilized by C stores. This session will provide attendees with easy to understand guidance on navigating independent contractor relationships and on the risks of misclassifying independent contractors under this new standard.
