It's #TipTuesday! John McDonald provides this week's tip reminding New York entities who use freelancers that the Freelance Isn’t Free Act goes into effect tomorrow and they should review their agreements to ensure compliance with FIFA’s requirements. On August 28, 2024, New York’s Freelance Isn’t Free Act (FIFA) goes into effect. FIFA requires that hiring parties retaining independent contractors enter into written agreements that meet FIFA’s minimum requirements, make timely payment of agreed fees, and prohibits retaliation against freelancers for exercising their FIFA rights. Damages for violations can include injunctive relief, recovery of double any unpaid fees, recovery of the contract value for each retaliatory act, attorney's fees, and costs. New York entities who use freelancers should review such engagements to ensure compliance with FIFA’s requirements. #employmentlaw #NewYork #FreelanceIsntFreeAct
