Veterans Day, observed on Nov. 11, is a celebration to honor America’s veterans for their willingness to serve and sacrifice to protect the United States and its freedoms.

On October 11, 2022, the United States Department of Labor (DOL) announced that it will publish a notice of proposed rulemaking that would assist employers in classifying workers as employees or independent contractors under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

In short, and as noted in a 2022 Deloitte report, while a vast majority of leaders think they’re caring and employees are thriving, nearly half their people disagree.
