In October, the DOL proposed a new rule on independent contractor classification, framing economic dependence as the determining factor of whether an employee or contractor is a dependent or independent worker in relation to the employer. AAHOA sent in a letter opposing the proposed rule and will continue to advocate for concise and clear labor regulations.
“AAHOA Members seek consistency in the determination of the independent contractor status of workers. Hoteliers have gone through a great deal these last few years. From COVID and severe labor shortages to supply chain issues and historic inflation rates, many AAHOA Members are struggling to financially survive. The proposed rule would only further contribute to hoteliers’ economic difficulties,” AAHOA Chairman Neal Patel said in the letter.
