Description:
 |
Independent contractors may be a necessary and strategic component to your business. If so, you need to know the rules regarding what makes a worker an independent contractor versus an employee - or risk substantial fines and penalties.
Employment tax agencies, the IRS, Workers Compensation, and state labor codes are all concerned with whether or not a worker has been misclassified, so the IRS and many states have disclosed that this is now an area of focus during their audits.
In fact, you hear on the news almost daily about one company or another being fined for exactly this reason. So act now to help ensure it is not your company "making news"!
