Fisher Phillips Breakfast Briefing: The Dangers of Misclassifying Independent Contractors

Does your workforce include a lot of “salaried” employees who are treated as exempt? Do you regularly hire freelancers, casual workers, or independent contractors?  If so, you should seriously review and consider whether your workers are properly classified under federal and state wage and hour laws. The risks of not properly classifying workers can be substantial, and they can even include having to pay back pay, liquidated damages, unpaid taxes, penalties, interest, and accounting and attorneys' fees. This program will review how to evaluate positions for exemption status, how to determine whether to classify workers as contractors and how to approach misclassification issues.

This course has been submitted for HRCI/SHRM and CLE in New Jersey.
