Separately, a proposed DOL rule would make it easier to classify workers as independent contractors by prioritizing control over work and profit potential, a change that could reduce employer costs while expanding contractor opportunities for workers; reforms are unfolding even as workers face ongoing tax obligations regardless of form documentation.
