Employee Or Independent Contractor? How To Classify Your Workers Correctly And Avoid Legal Trouble Training Seminar

Around the country, lawsuits and enforcement actions targeting employers for allegedly misclassifying their workers are on the rise. In some cases, employers deliberately try to bend the rules to avoid paying the taxes, overtime pay, and benefits they owe.

However, many others simply make honest mistakes. It's not always easy to determine if your workers qualify as independent contractors, especially since different federal agencies use different tests for determining a person's status. Simply calling someone an "independent contractor" just won't cut it these days - the criteria are both stringent and complicated. If you incorrectly classify an employee as an independent contractor, you could face a huge, costly lawsuit (not to mention very bad publicity).

During our 90-minute audio conference and you'll learn exactly how to properly classify your workers. Our expert will share proven strategies for drafting effective contractor agreements and protecting yourself from lawsuits and audits. Plus, you'll have the chance to ask questions (live or via email) about the specific challenges facing your organization right now.

You and your colleagues will learn:
  • The various federal tests used to determine whether a worker is an employee or an independent contractor
  • The common errors many employers make when they deal with independent contractors
  • The steep penalties you face if you misclassify an employee as an independent contractor, even if it was a good-faith mistake
  • How to create bulletproof independent contractor agreements that will survive in court
  • The important legal differences between temporary employees and independent contractors
  • The safest ways to terminate an independent contractor's work with you
