The Future of Employment (Jun 2016)
Explore the effects of the sharing economy on the traditional employment model as companies use technology to connect providers and end-users in novel ways and employees increasingly view themselves as individual entrepreneurs with their own business aspirations. Specific topics include the scope of the limitations of the employee vs. contractor classification system, the use of arbitration agreements as a response to judicial second-guessing, the scope of an employee’s fiduciary duty, the ownership of employee inventions, and some of the potential consequences associated with replacing the traditional employment model with individually-defined, market-driven, peer-to-peer business relationships.
