U.S. Department of Labor Unveils New Joint Employer Rule


This is the first significant update to the joint-employer rule in more than 60 years – a win for small businesses.



The rule includes a four-factor balancing test to determine whether businesses share liability for FLSA wage and hour violations. To determine whether a second company is a joint employer of a worker, DOL will examine whether the presumed joint employer hires or fires the employee; supervises and controls the employee’s work schedule or conditions of employment to a substantial degree; determines the employee’s rate and method of payment; and maintains the employee’s employment records.
In a statement, Karen Harned, Executive Director of the NFIB Small Business Legal said, “Small and independent businesses need a standard for determining joint-employer status that is easier to understand, simpler, and less expensive to administer. Citing NFIB, the Department of Labor noted the concerns and needs of small business owners, such as the fact that ‘small and independent businesses cannot afford the lawyers, accountants, and clerks that larger companies use to decipher complex regulations and implement costly business systems necessary to comply with the regulations.’”

First of all, let me say this. I've always loved small business and having been in business myself for many years, I believe that there is nothing better. I encourage everyone to have some sort of business regardless if it only part time of a full fledged company employing many people.  I'm a membership rep for NFIB and am pleased to visit many business owners on a daily basis. To me NFIB membership is essential for any business person to learn about the issues, take as little time as he or she wants to invest in voting on them and then go about their business with the peace of mind that NFIB is working on their behalf. NFIB membership dues is whatever the business owners feel they can afford (up to $15K). It's more important to have a member than a dues which would hinder membership by very small businesses. Everyone's "voice" is important and NFIB is the "voice of small business" in every state capital and in Washington D.C.  That...

  Location Celebration of Small Business What is it? Every week North Wisconsin Small Biz celebrates a northern Wisconsin location and up to 20 businesses (first come first serve basis) in that location. We present a post listing your business (with 19 others) which is linked to your business Facebook page.   Viewers are asked to click on your link, go to your page and “Like” it.
