How appraisers are treated and classified
under federal labor laws has become a hot legal topic for both
appraisers and their employers. Numerous lawsuits have
been filed against appraisal firms, lenders, AMCs and other
employers,
contending that appraisers are not exempt employees and
therefore must be paid
overtime and receive other protections. A number of these
cases have resulted
in significant judgments. Some appraisal
firms attempt to avoid having to deal with such issues by
classifying their appraisers as independent contractors
— and many
appraisers themselves prefer this arrangement. However,
whether classification
of an appraiser as a contractor is legally correct for an
appraisal firm can be
a thorny issue — for both the firm and the
contractor
appraiser. There are different tests for federal tax
purposes, overtime,
unemployment insurance, workers compensation and liability.
The details of the
tests also vary by state. Unfortunately, there is no single
standard for
determining whether an appraiser is an independent
contractor, exempt, or
non-exempt employee.
In this live webinar, classification of workers as employees or independent contractors under new California law AB5, a.k.a. "the gig worker law," along with recent litigation and other legislation on worker classification, will be reviewed and analyzed in the context of the appraisal field. Learn the law and enhance your legal understanding.
