Beyond Misclassification: The Risks of Hiring Independent Contractors
Instructor:
Janette Levey Frisch
Product ID: 706014
- Duration: 90 Min
Why Should You Attend:
The gig economy is not slowing down. More and more businesses are engaging independent contractors. More workers are choosing to be independent contractors, and often with good reason. Independent contractors provide flexibility for both the client and the worker, and they often enable businesses to engage the talent they need for the time they need it and keep their costs down. Seems like a win-win for everyone, right? The independent contractor model is not without significant risks, however. In addition to the very real risk of misclassification (and the often seemingly draconian consequences that come with it) are other risks. What happens when the independent contractor is injured while working for you? Can you be liable when the independent contractor makes a mistake? Do you have any obligations to the independent contractor’s employees or to a sub-contractor? Often the answer can be “yes”. But it doesn’t have to be.
