Employee or Independent Contractor: The Challenges of Worker Classification - Webinar

Presentation Materials

In this webinar, we identify the issues and address the questions surrounding classification of workers, including:

• Who is an independent contractor?

• How will the Department of Labor's increased budget heighten enforcement?

• What are the 10 most frequent mistakes made when classifying employees and independent contractors?

• What are the consequences and potential exposure for employee misclassification?

• What can be done to avoid exposure?
  
  

It is apparent that the Department of Labor is convinced that the number of reported independent contractors, more than 8 percent of the workforce, is inaccurate as a result of employers misclassifying employees. The DOL's increased enforcement means there is an immediate need for employers to ensure their worker classification practices are in compliance.
