URGENT: How the New USDOL Rule Can Affect You

Free to WPN and IWOSC Members

Tuesday, April 16, 2024

6 pm Central

4 pm Pacific

on Zoom 

What it’s all about…

We promised, and here it is: With the launch on March 11 of the U.S. Department of Labor’s controversial “Classification of Independent Contractors and Employees Under the Fair Labor Standards Act,” we freelancers have a myriad of questions regarding how that rule will affect us—and our clients. Will those clients have to hire us as W2 employees— or drop us altogether? How can we protect our businesses? Our careers? 

Calm down. Lawyers for the Creative Arts, “Unique Employment Lawyer” Lori Goldstein(who is also one of the top 100 Attorneys selected by Illinois Super Lawyers) will  provide the answers to those questions and many more. Join us as she helps us wrap our heads around a rule that can affect the way 72+ million Independent Contractors (including writers of all stripes) work and live. And that can impact 45% of the U.S. economy.
