Issues concerning employee misclassification continue to grow, as employers often misunderstand the legal distinctions between employees and independent contractors. While many employers are tempted to hire and classify their workers as independent contractors, they often fail to appreciate both the legal requirements necessary to accomplish this, and the disastrous financial outcomes that can result from their mistake.
