California Court Of Appeal Holds That App-Based Driver And Delivery Businesses Can Properly Classify Workers As Independent Contractors

March 17, 2023 | CDF Labor Law LLP Filed Under: State Law Articles

On March 13, 2023, in Castellanos v.

In so doing, it breathed life back into Proposition 22 (Bus. & Prof. Code sections 7448-7467) and California’s gig economy.

Consequently, AB5 made it nearly impossible for workers and businesses of any kind to lawfully engage with each other on an independent contractor basis and for businesses to retain independent contractors without incurring the risk of, at best, being placed into an arduous audit process or, at worst, being deemed to have improperly classified its workers, and all of the repercussions associated with that finding. AB5 has, not surprisingly, been the subject of much litigation in the time since its original enactment.
