MN New Independant Contractor Law
May 22, 2009
A new state law effective January 1, 2009, requires individuals (but not corporations, limited liability companies or partnerships) who work as independent contractors in the building construction industry to obtain from the Department of Labor and Industry (DLI) an Independent Contractor Exemption Certificate (ICEC). As of January 1, 2009, for purposes of Minnesota’s workers’ compensation, unemployment insurance, wage and hour, and occupational safety and health laws, individuals doing building construction work without an ICEC will be deemed to be employees of the contractor for whom they are working.
