The Ab5 Experiment — Should States Adopt California’S Worker Classification Law?, Samantha Prince

American University Business Law Review
A worker's classification as either independent contractor or employee drives whether a worker is entitled to minimum wage, overtime, worker's compensation, unemployment compensation, anti-discrimination protection, National Labor Relations Act protections, and many other safety-net protections. During the COVID-19 pandemic, unemployment protections were extended to independent contractors, but this is not the norm and is not slated to continue post-pandemic.
