New DOL Guidelines on Misclassification: Marlin & Saltzman Partner Quoted in Article

    LOS ANGELES, CA, August 06, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Marlin & Saltzman is pleased to announce that one of the firm's partners, Stan Saltzman, was quoted in an article by Bloomberg BNA about the new Department of Labor (DOL) guidelines on worker misclassification.

According to the article, titled DOL Memo Means Time to Review Worker Misclassification, "New Labor Department guidance on worker misclassification means that employers should take a good, hard look at the way they distinguish between employees and independent contractors, but not necessarily that they should change those classifications."

Given Marlin & Saltzman's extensive experience representing groups of truck, transport van and messenger delivery drivers in misclassification cases, Mr. Saltzman was asked to provide his input to Bloomberg BNA on the new DOL guidelines.

"It is clear that in so many of these cases the purported independent contractors do not control their own destiny, and they are falsely labeled as independent contractors solely to enable the employer to avoid the obligations borne by so many responsible employers," Mr. Saltzman said.

If you believe that you or someone you know is being misclassified as an independent contractor and being unfairly compensated, and/or being required to pay ordinary business expenses of the employer, contact Marlin & Saltzman today to speak to one of the firm's attorneys: 855-477-4900
