NC governor signs misclassification law

North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper signed legislation last week addressing employee misclassification, according to US News and World Report [1]. The legislation signed Aug. 11 confirms the creation of an office within the North Carolina Industrial Commission to investigate companies and discourage the practice. Former Gov. Pat McCrory directed the commission’s new work via an executive order; the new law makes the effort to help North Carolina workers when employers intentionally misclassify them as independent contractors.
