Abstract
Classifying whether a worker is an independent contractor or an employee is crucial for businesses. However, although most employers try to do it right, many of them still misunderstand the legal distinctions between the two. This typically results in worker misclassification, making employers at risk of enforcement actions and financial penalties.
With the government’s growing tendency to challenge independent contractor classifications, it is essential for practitioners and employers to ensure compliance with the relevant rules.
In this LIVE Webcast, seasoned employment lawyers Rafael Nendel-Flores (Clark Hill PLC) and Doug Holthus (Mazanec, Raskin & Ryder Co., L.P.A.) will provide the audience with an in-depth analysis of the recent developments in independent contractor classification. Speakers will also offer focused insight on how to properly classify workers, thereby avoiding legal damages and costly risks.
Key topics include:
• Independent Contractors vs. Employees
• Regulatory Developments
• Exploring Gray Areas
• Potential Risks and Pitfalls
• Implications of COVID-19
• Best Compliance Practices
• Outlook
