Operational Execution and State-Specific Complexities

Session two transitions from legal theory to operational reality, focusing on how to manage contingent talent day-to-day without triggering co-employment liabilities. The panel will address common audit pain points, including approval workflows, tracking mechanisms, tenure caps, mandatory breaks in service and how to prevent managers from using nonemployees to circumvent headcount limits. Attendees will get clear "do's and don'ts" for training managers on keeping operational boundaries intact.

The second half of the session tackles state-specific compliance traps, led by a deep dive into California's regulatory environment. The panel will break down the current state of the ABC test, key industry exceptions, and new freelance contracting requirements. To wrap up, a rapid-fire overview will touch on major regional trends, including California Pay Data Reporting and emerging freelancer/staffing rights laws in states like Illinois and New Jersey.
