Case Study: Uber improves contractor compliance and time tracking with WorkforceHub

Uber tackles contractor misclassification with WorkforceHub and DOL compliance guidance

Uber faced significant legal and financial challenges due to the misclassification of its drivers as independent contractors instead of employees. This led to numerous lawsuits and government scrutiny over violations of labor laws, including overtime and minimum wage regulations. To help manage its independent contractor relationships and improve compliance, Uber utilized WorkforceHub's mobile timekeeping app.

WorkforceHub's solution provided a mobile time tracking app that offered unprecedented oversight and accurate record-keeping for Uber's drivers. This increased payroll accuracy, provided reliable data for compliance, and gave managers real-time alerts to control costs. The implementation of WorkforceHub helped Uber reinforce accountability and establish a stronger foundation of data to better manage its workforce and mitigate the risks associated with misclassification.
