President Barack Obama's budget outline introduced earlier this week includes language aimed at employers who misclassify workers as independent contractors as well as $25 million for enforcement and anti-misclassification activities for states.

The Departments of Labor and Treasury are pursuing a plan to cut incentives for employers to misclassify workers, according to a budget summary.

In addition, "the 2011 budget for [the Department of Labor] includes an additional $25 million to target misclassification with 100 additional enforcement personnel and competitive grants to boost states' incentives and capacity to address this problem," according to the summary from Whitehouse.gov.
