Obama budget proposal addresses “misclassification” of workers
The 2017 budget proposal unveiled by President Obama yesterday includes $10 million “for activities to address the misclassification of workers.”
That’s good news to the Construction Employers of America (CEA). “Misclassification is a form of payroll fraud that puts lawful companies that appropriately classify their employees at a competitive disadvantage in the marketplace and unfairly penalizes hard-working Americans who are deprived pay and benefits,” said the organization in a statement.
