Publisher's Synopsis
Employers walk a dangerous street in today's gig economy. There are millions of U.S. workers being treated as independent contractors, who may be employees under the law. The federal government and the states are doing many thousands of audits each year to find them. The penalties and financial ramifications can be staggering. This book provides clear guidance on the worker classification issue. It looks at the rules and requirements under both federal and state laws and provides directions for creating a valid independent contractor relationship. It also reviews the ways to deal with misclassified workers and advice for dealing with audits and fixing incorrect worker designations. Every employer should read this book and be aware of the dangers that are present and how to remove them.
