It's NOT as Easy as A-B-C! Can California Businesses Still 'Depend' on Independent Contractors Post AB 5?

California's much anticipated Assembly Bill 5 (AB 5) has been signed into law, codifying the “ABC Test” for determining whether a worker is an employee or an independent contractor. Taking effect on January 1, 2020, the new test reclassifies, as employees, hundreds of thousands of Californians who currently operate as independent contractors. The impact on California's economy – the fifth largest in the world – will be extraordinary.

Topics covered:

• An overview of the ABC Test
• An analysis of the provisions of AB 5
• A discussion of the impacts on the state economy and businesses
• Practical suggestions for California employers to address the numerous challenges presented by this change in the law
