If your company hires a number of independent contractors, it is important to make sure that those individuals are not actually employees. Misclassifying workers can lead to penalties and liquidated damages under the tax laws and/or the wage and hour laws. To add to the confusion, different states apply different tests, and even the federal agencies approach the determination slightly differently. This webinar will help you understand the different factors and tests being applied to the employer vs. independent contractor determination so that you can make a well-informed decision when hiring contractors.
Course Objectives:
• What legal protections do employees receive that independent contractors do not?
• Why are governmental entities so concerned about the proper classification of workers?
• What factors do various federal agencies and states apply when determining whether a worker is a contractor or employee?
• Which states are applying the “ABC” test and practical examples of the application of that test?
• What are the potential damages for misclassifying workers as contractors?
Why Should You Attend:
Do you have a number of workers at your company who have been classified as independent contractors? Are you confident that the Department of Labor or Internal Revenue Service would agree that each worker is a contractor? It is important to understand what factors various federal agencies use when making this determination and how those factors have been applied. Also, are you in a state which has adopted the rigorous “ABC” test which makes it harder for employers to justify classifying workers as contractors? This webinar will cover the various factors and tests being applied so that you can ensure that your company is making the appropriate classification.
Course Outline:
• Understanding legal difference between employees and contractors
• Why employers sometimes prefer to classify workers as contractors
• Which legal protections contractors do not receive, such as overtime under Fair Labor Standards Act
