Eversheds Sutherland’s Bonnie Burke and Emma Quinn are pleased to continue to their podcast series, Conversations across the pond, focusing on key differences between US and Irish employment law. In the latest episode, Bonnie and Emma focus on the difference between independent contractors and employees. Their discussion highlights how both countries have recently updated their legal frameworks for classifying workers. They explain the legal tests used in both jurisdictions and the use of robust written agreements to clearly define the nature of the working relationship.
