In the past few years, under the Obama Administration we saw the definitions of “joint employment” and “employee” expand.  In its Administrative Interpretation 2016-01 issued in January 2016, the DOL took the position that “[t]he concept of joint employment, like employment generally, should be defined expansively under the FLSA and MSPA.” It also differentiated between “horizontal” joint […]
