Independent Contractor or Employee? How to Use the IRS' New Relief Program

Independent Contractor Webinar Recording

HR misclassification of employees as independent contractors is an increasingly active IRS and DOL target, so it's an issue that you can't ignore, especially since the cost of getting it wrong is so high. The agencies are making the choice very clear for employers: Properly classify your workforce or face audits and costly fines and legal penalties down the road.
