Two Sides Of The Same Coin: Examining The Misclassification Of Workers As Independent Contractors, Julia H. Weaver Jan 2021

Two Sides Of The Same Coin: Examining The Misclassification Of Workers As Independent Contractors, Julia H. Weaver

Georgia Law Review

Under current National Labor Relations Board
interpretations of the National Labor Relations Act, employers
may only be punished for misclassifying their employees as
independent contractors if a separate violation of the NLRA is
present. As the U.S. economy increasingly focuses on gig work,
millions of workers are affected by misclassification, which
results in lower pay and fewer employment protections.
Misclassification also strips the government of billions of
dollars in tax revenue.
The NLRB considered the issue of making the
misclassification of employees a standalone violation of Section
8(a)(1) of the NLRA in the case Velox Express, Inc., yet it
declined …


The Lost Approach To Flsa Settlement Agreements: A Freedom-Of-Contract Approach, Madison G. Conkel Jan 2021

The Lost Approach To Flsa Settlement Agreements: A Freedom-Of-Contract Approach, Madison G. Conkel

Georgia Law Review

In jurisdictions that require judicial oversight of Fair Labor
Standards Act settlement agreements, a question lingers: What
exactly should judges review? Some judges have begun
categorically striking confidentiality provisions from
settlement agreements by pointing to the purposes and goals of
the FLSA. The academic community lauds these courts’ efforts
to prevent employers from mandating employees’ silence about
the terms of their settlement agreements. This Note, however,
makes the counterargument: confidentiality provisions should
be permitted in FLSA settlements agreements as a bargaining
chip for employees who bring individual suits. If higher courts
in a given jurisdiction require judicial oversight of these …


Mopping Up The Mess: A Call To Adopt The Seventh Circuit’S Standard For Assessing Comparator Evidence In Title Vii Discrimination Claims, Alexander S. Edmonds Jan 2021

Mopping Up The Mess: A Call To Adopt The Seventh Circuit’S Standard For Assessing Comparator Evidence In Title Vii Discrimination Claims, Alexander S. Edmonds

Georgia Law Review

In McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Green, the U.S. Supreme
Court developed a framework to assist courts in assessing
individual disparate treatment claims based on
circumstantial evidence. Under that test, plaintiffs alleging
discrimination under Title VII must first show a prima facie
case of discrimination. Since McDonnell Douglas, courts have
modified the test by requiring plaintiffs to demonstrate that
they were treated less favorably than a similarly situated
comparator employee who is outside the plaintiff’s protected
class. Courts disagree, however, on what it means for
employees to be similarly situated. Some courts strictly
interpret the similarly situated requirement; others caution
against …


State Of The Unions: The Impact Of Janus On Public University Student Fees, Jonathan Kaufman Jan 2020

State Of The Unions: The Impact Of Janus On Public University Student Fees, Jonathan Kaufman

Georgia Law Review

In Janus v. American Federation of State, County,
and Municipal Employees, Council 31, the U.S.
Supreme Court overruled forty-one years of precedent
that had allowed public-sector unions to collect
agency-shop fees from nonmembers. The Court ruled this
mandatory fee collection unconstitutional as a violation
of nonmember First Amendment rights. This decision
may pose problems for other public entities, such as
public universities, who also collect mandatory fees that
support political speech.

Poached Eggs: The Misclassification Of Egg Donors As Independent Contractors And How Egg Donors Can Contribute To The Argument For A New Category Of Worker-The Dependent Contractor, Carol L. Williamson Jan 2016

Poached Eggs: The Misclassification Of Egg Donors As Independent Contractors And How Egg Donors Can Contribute To The Argument For A New Category Of Worker-The Dependent Contractor, Carol L. Williamson

Georgia Law Review

As the growth in demand for egg donors is met with an
increasing number of women willing to supply their eggs,
changes need to be made to the way egg donors, and other
similarly situated workers, are classified in the
employment context. Most donor contracts are employer-
created forms that designate the donors as independent
contractors and thus spare the clinic the duty of providing
employment benefits. Unlike other on-demand service
providers, such as Uber-drivers, that have recently sought
re-classification as employees, women who donate eggs are
subject to physically invasive procedures and long-term
health risks that particularly obviate the …
