Employee or Contractor: Misclassification from the DWD Perspective
Presented by: Jim Chiolino, Assistant Administrator, Equal Rights Division & Director, Labor Standards Bureau; Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development
EBSA’s National Priorities and Projects for 2016
Presented by: Chris Davis, Associate Regional Director for the Chicago Regional Office of the Employee Security Benefit Administration, U.S. Department of Labor (DOL)
Thursday, October 22, 2015
Presentation Description
The DWD session will cover the pitfalls of classifying a worker as an independent contractor from the perspective of the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development's various agencies. Participants will be given an overview of the various – and different – tests used under various laws enforced by the DWD or programs under its purview. Unemployment Insurance Law considers this issue differently than Workers Compensation Law, which differs from tests used under Wisconsin wage/hour law and anti-discrimination laws. It is important to conduct a careful analysis of each proposed "contractor" position.
