OFCCP has posted Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
addressing how federal contractors should assess their employment relationships
to distinguish “employees” from “independent contractors” or other non-employee
workers. The FAQs describe what are commonly referred to as the “Darden”
factors, derived from the 1992 Supreme Court decision in Nationwide Mutual Insurance
Co. v. Darden,
and provide examples illustrating their application in determining which
workers are employees.
