Why You Should Attend
Misclassifying an employee as an independent contractor is a serious matter. This is a common mistake that many organizations make which could have significant legal and financial repercussions including back taxes, fines, and penalties from regulators. Federal and State authorities are aggressively pursuing enforcement actions related to worker misclassification and therefore organizations must know the difference between an employee versus an independent contractor.
Intentional acts of misclassification could even result in an organization being investigated for payroll fraud, litigators filing class action lawsuits, and even criminal charges that could result in jail time.
