Senate Considering Bill Targeting Safe Harbor for Independent Contractors

Here's a post from Staffing Industry Analysts about a bill in the Senate that would cut back on a safe harbor for users of independent contractors. The bill was introduced by Massachusetts Senator John Kerry.

The Senate bill limits the criteria that establishes a reasonable basis for classifying a person as an independent contractor. This will affect the taxes paid by employers who work with contractors and consultants, and may influence their staffing decisions.
