Contractor or Employee? Exempt or Non-Exempt? Understanding the Distinctions When Classifying Workers

Wednesday, September 25, 2019 - 2:00pm to 3:00pm

A handful of high-profile cases — and increased attention by the IRS and Department of Labor — has put worker classification in the spotlight. Now, more than ever, employers must be crystal clear on the differences between an employee and independent contractor, as well as exempt vs. non-exempt status.

In either case, misclassifying workers is a risk your business can’t afford to take. Protect yourself from costly misclassification mistakes and potential legal issues.

Attend this timely webinar to learn:

  • Factors that define the worker relationship, according to the IRS and Department of Labor
  • Warning signs that your contractor is actually an employee under the law
  • What determines exempt vs. non-exempt status (Hint: Job title has nothing to do with it.)
  • Steps to take if a worker is misclassified
