    Independent Contractor or Employee: Court Tackles Issue Once Again

    By Christian Petrucci | August 3, 2017

    As outlined in this space back in June, the nature of an ­employment relationship is a question of law that is to be determined on a ­case-by-case basis. The Commonwealth Court case of Hawbaker v. Workers' Compensation Appeal Board, (Kriner's Quality Roofing Services and UEGF), 224 C.D. 2016, ­provided a springboard for discussing under what circumstances an injured worker can be considered an employee versus an independent contractor. Hawbaker also ­offered a comparison between the ­"traditional" factors in determining whether an ­employer-employee relationship exists and the ­specific statutory requirements of the 2010 Construction Workplace Misclassification Act (CWMA), which sought to codify criteria for ­classification of independent contractors in construction settings.

    By Trey Cox and Jason Dennis | August 1, 2017

    Under the American Rule, a party may only recover attorney fees on certain narrow claims. When a party has some claims that support the award of attorney fees and some claims that do not, then the party must segregate the recoverable attorney fees from the nonrecoverable attorney fees.

    The Obstacles to Private Resolution of FLSA Claims

    By Andrea M. Kirshenbaum | July 28, 2017

    A question that has bedeviled ­employers for decades: Can employers obtain a release of claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) in the absence of U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) or court approval? A recent decision in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, Gaughan v. Rubenstein, adds more fuel to the fire, ­dismissing a plaintiff's FLSA claims against Lee Rubenstein and holding that the ­plaintiff's "pre-litigation settlement agreement" released her FLSA claims, even without the imprimatur of the DOL or a court.
