An article in the New York Times reported that State and Federal agencies are going to be cracking down on an employer's use of independent contractors. For years, employers have utilized independent contractors in place of employing individuals as regular employees.

New Jersey employment lawyers, and employment lawyers in other states, will certainly be busy dealing with the audits conducted by the various agencies charged with the authority to crack down on employers that are illegally designating an employee as an independent contractor.
