Summary of Program

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.

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;
