Is Your Company on the Independent Contractor Hit List?
The U.S. Department of Labor, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, and state workforce agencies are cracking down on companies thought to be misclassifying employees as independent contractors, targeting certain industries where misclassification is believed to be most prevalent, such as staffing, janitorial services, construction, nursing, cable companies, security, and transportation and trucking. If you have any questions on how you classify the workers in your company, contact U.S. Wage and Hour for answers and clarification. Reported in ASA Staffing Today by Pepper Hamilton’s Reibstein.
