11 Apr Employer Webinar: Are You My Employee?
In recent years, both lawsuits and state and federal agency audits have increased over worker classification issues. PPACA’s requirement that large and mid-size employers offer health coverage to their full-time employees or pay penalties will give employers another reason to make sure workers are classified correctly. Misclassifying workers can lead to awards of large dollars of back pay, penalties for under-withholding, and fines under PPACA.
Unfortunately, it’s not always simple to decide if a worker is an “employee.” Join us for this 90 minute intermediate level webinar and learn what to look at when deciding if a worker is a “common law” employee, tools available from the government to help you do this, and all the consequences to consider when making this decision.
Thursday, May 16th 2:00pm ET
The presentation slides will be posted the day before the webinar.
