I Work Alone: Limiting Liability Concerning Independent Contractor Status
Instructor:
Jacquiline M Wagner
Product ID: 705514
- Duration: 60 Min
Why Should You Attend:
Converse to the high overhead when employing an employee, when contracting with independent contractors, a principal’s overhead costs are relatively low. That’s because when contracting with an independent contractor, the principal is not responsible for providing the “Laundry List” of protections it must provide in an employer-employee relationship.
Many principals, especially small business owners, are tempted to erroneously dub a service provider as an independent contractor in an effort to avoid paying for and managing the Laundry List of legal protections afforded to employees.
But, as we will discuss, misclassifying an employee as an independent contractor- especially to avoid providing the Laundry List of legal protections to a service provider- could have costly and dire ramifications.

- What an independent contractor is
- The advantages of contracting with an independent contractor
