Topic: Dancing in a Hurricane – The Risk of Mislabeling Employees as Independent Contractors
The ever-changing winds of employment law are again in motion, currently circulating around relationships between employers and their independent contractors. Numerous governmental agencies stand ready to review these relationships, evaluating the true independence of any contractors bearing any resemblance to employees, with age-old standards giving way to new factors and new methods of evaluation. Employers that have mislabeled workers as independent contractors, even unintentionally, face risk. Fines, overlapping investigations, and lawsuits brew on the horizon for these employers. Join us as we discuss how regulatory agencies and the courts view these relationships and the developing legal trends in this arena. Learn simple precautions that you can take to avoid the growing tempest.
