IT and Engineering Consultants Providing Services as Independent Contractors Should Be Treated the Same as Professionals in Other Industries. Some IT and engineering professionals choose to operate their own businesses by providing services as independent contractors. Recent tax reform efforts have proposed revising the safe harbor for employers. However, certain provisions in past proposals would have made it difficult if not impossible for the IT and engineering staffing firms to be eligible for the new safe harbor. Given that the 115th Congress may enact major tax reform, we ask that future legislative efforts include a revised safe harbor provision for independent contractor status that fully accommodates independent professionals working within the IT and engineering staffing and solutions industry. Tax reform, no current pending legislation.

Clarify the FLSA Definition of Computer Professional to Reflect Hundreds of New IT Occupations. The 1990s definition of computer professional codified in the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) was enacted when the World Wide Web and the Internet were in the infancy stage. As America's technology industry has grown extremely fast for more than two decades, there are literally hundreds of new IT professional occupations. TechServe Alliance strongly supports efforts to resolve any doubt about whether these new IT occupations fall within the FLSA computer professional exemption through updating and clarifying the statutory language.
TechServe Alliance supports policies that address the systemic talent shortage, including increasing resources for STEM education and worker training.

IT and Engineering Consultants Providing Services as Independent Contractors Should Be Treated the Same as Professionals in Other Industries. Some IT and engineering professionals choose to operate their own businesses by providing services as independent contractors. Recent tax reform efforts have proposed revising the safe harbor for employers. However, certain provisions in past proposals would have made it difficult if not impossible for the IT and engineering staffing firms to be eligible for the new safe harbor. Given that the 115th Congress may enact major tax reform, we ask that future legislative efforts include a revised safe harbor provision for independent contractor status that fully accommodates independent professionals working within the IT and engineering staffing and solutions industry. Tax reform, no current pending legislation.
