Employee Misclassification - Independent Contractors or Employees? - MP3 Download
Program Description
With the Obama Administration estimating that the federal government is losing approximately $7 billion dollars over a three-year period due to misclassified independent contractors and some states claiming that they are losing almost $200 million each year due to similar misclassifications, both federal and state agencies are stepping up their efforts to audit organizations that classify workers as independent contractors instead of employees. The federal Department of Labor announced that it expected to hire at least 90 new investigators and spend approximately $25 million in 2010 to solely focus on auditing employers' designations of independent contractors. Similarly, the IRS stated that it was redoubling efforts to uncover long-term misclassified workers by launching a three-year program that will examine 6,000 companies to find permanent workers misclassified as freelancers in violation of the Tax Code. And, closer to home, effective June 2009, the Colorado State Department of Labor upped the ante for employers when it comes to not paying unemployment taxes on independent contractors who are really employees. In short, now, more than ever, organizations need to understand when they can properly classify workers as independent contractors. This one hour seminar will focus on the federal and state factors, including recent cases, used to determine if certain workers can truly be classified as independent contractors.
