flag The U.S. Labor Department proposes rolling back 2024 worker classification rules, favoring employer control over economic dependence.

flag The U.S. Department of Labor has proposed repealing the 2024 rule that expanded worker classification as employees based on economic dependence, reverting to a standard emphasizing employer control and a worker’s opportunity for profit or loss. flag The change, aimed at reducing regulatory uncertainty, is expected to benefit industries reliant on contract labor, including gig work, trucking, and healthcare. flag The proposal, published on February 26, 2026, begins a 60-day public comment period and reflects a broader effort to restore clarity and flexibility in worker classification under federal law.
