In a decision posted today (Vazquez v. Jan-Pro Franchising International, Inc. (2021) ___Cal.5th ___), the California Supreme Court declared its decision to applying the very restrictive A-B-C test to determine if someone is an independent contractor for wage and hour purposes (Dynamex Operations West, Inc. v. Superior Court (2018) 4 Cal.5th 903) will be given retroactive effect. As to any matter not final as of the date of the Dynamex decision, the relevant statute of limita...tions is four (4) years prior to the filing of the lawsuit. Businesses who still utilize independent contractors in California should, once again, review their agreements, how work is actually performed, and potential exposure and then make appropriate changes.
