This webinar will describe the distinctions that must always exist between contractors and employees based on standards used by the federal Department of Labor and how to draw the distinction and maintain it.
Why Should You Attend:Determining if an individual is a contractor or an employee is having enormous financial implications. Large and small companies have been found liable for back-pay, back-benefits, and pensions that had to be paid to individuals who had been considered to be contractors. The problems arose when on further review they were found by the federal Department of Labour to be employees. These mis-classification issues can also raise pension concerns. These have been substantial awards, and can threaten either the financial future or a company or whether it continues to be viable. Past mis-classification can also raise retrospective labour issues.
