In the age of Uber and Postmates, the question of who is an independent contractor versus who is a traditional employee is more important than ever.
Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), employers must pay employees at least the federal minimum wage and overtime wages for working more than 40 hours per week. Moreover, state law requires employees to receive coverage for workers’ compensation and unemployment benefits.
The key word here is “employees.”
Businesses are generally not responsible for those things when it comes to independent contractors. Therefore, any proposed change related to the definition of an independent contractor should catch the eye of employers and workers alike.

The McKnight Center for the Performing Arts in Stillwater has announced some heavy-hitting acts for its 2021-2022 season lineup, including country music star Tim McGraw and Broadway icon Bernadette Peters.
Any performance at Oklahoma State University’s McKnight Center is worth attending because the facility is so impressive, with excellent acoustics and a beautiful setting. It’s wonderful to see the performing arts returning thanks to vaccines and a drop in COVID-19 numbers. While the center kept some performances going, seating capacity was limited.
