The stakes if your client misclassifies some of its workers as independent contractors are rising. Bruce Ely has been handling these issues for over 35 years and surveys the different criteria used by the IRS, the U.S. Department of Labor, and the states for determining whether a worker should be classified as a full-time or part-time employee vs. IC. He also summarizes available defenses to mitigate the risk and programs to quietly convert a misclassified worker to employee status on a cost-effective basis.
