Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals Finds That Individual Managers Of A Bankrupt Corp...

"[U]nder the FLSA, the term "employer" is given a broad interpretation, and covers 'any person acting directly or indirectly in the interest of an employer in relation to an employee.' Under this standard, courts look to the 'economic reality' of the relationship... Here, the individual defendants were each alleged to have high-ranking management positions, and two were alleged be part owners the company. Consequently, the Ninth Circuit held that they could be found to have 'control and custody' of the employees, and could therefore be held liable for unpaid wages as 'employers' under the FLSA." —Labor & Employment Law Blog, July 2009

Why You Need to Know About the Telecommuter Tax Fairness Act

"[W]hen an employee works for a company located in a different state and chooses to telecommute some of the time, the employer's state may tax the employee on 100% of his wages - not just the wages he earns when he travels to the employer's state, but also the wages he earns in his state of residence. Because the states where telecommuters live can also tax their residents on the income they earn at home, telecommuters risk double taxation of their at-home income." —Work Shifting, August 27, 2009
