Download: Flyer – Independent Contractor v. Employee (1780262).PDF

Summary of Webinar
The risks involved in misclassifying a worker as an independent contractor rather than an employee have always been serious. A number of federal and state agencies regulate the proper classification of workers and have the authority to impose significant monetary and non-monetary sanctions against employers who get the classification wrong.

Webinar Highlights

This informative webinar will cover the legal landscape of independent contractor status. Topics will include:

• A summary of the various tests applied by federal and state agencies to determine independent contractor status;
• A summary of the enforcement authority of various federal and state agencies and the sanctions they may impose on employers;
• The due diligence employers must engage in before classifying a worker as an independent contractor;
• The federal Department of Labor’s $25 million “Misclassification Initiative” designed to work closely with state agencies to investigate misclassifications and take enforcement action; and
• California’s law imposing monetary and non-monetary sanctions against employers (and certain individuals) who willfully misclassify workers as independent contractors.

If you or your company is currently using independent contractors, this is a webinar you cannot afford to miss. Register today!

Summary of Program

Federal and state OSHA laws protect California workers from unsafe working conditions. However, the federal and state statutes and regulations are complex and can be difficult to understand. Employers often fall short of complying with provisions of Cal/OSHA simply because they are unaware that the law applies to them, or they fail to understand some nuance or technicality contained in the regulations. This short seminar is designed to remove some of the mystery from federal and state OSHA requirements and assist you in managing your business’ compliance with these laws.

Some of the topics to be discussed include:

• Implement a compliant and effective Injury and Illness Prevention Plan (IIPP).
• Gain an understanding of Cal/OSHA’s latest general industry changes and know how to comply.
• Avoid enormous Cal/OSHA fines and hassles by regularly assessing your organization’s IIPP, training your employees, and shoring up weaknesses in your safety practices.
• Better understand what OSHA regulations apply to your industry so you won’t be caught off guard when accidents do occur.
• Use effective preventive measures to keep you employees and customers safe from threats of workplace violence.
• Recognize the warning signs that indicate an employee is capable of violence and know how to respond.
