  OFCCP Posts New FAQs on the Employer-Employee Relationship

 

OFCCP has posted Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) addressing how federal contractors should assess their employment relationships to distinguish “employees” from “independent contractors” or other non-employee workers.  The FAQs describe what are commonly referred to as the “Darden” factors, derived from the 1992 Supreme Court decision in Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co. v. Darden, and provide examples illustrating their application in determining which workers are employees.

 

The FAQs are available at http://www.dol.gov/ofccp/regs/compliance/faqs/Employer-Employee_Relationship.html.
