Description:

For employers managing a workforce across multiple jurisdictions, navigating the complexities of worker classification is essential to ensuring legal compliance and avoiding costly penalties. Whether you are dealing with independent contractors or employees, understanding the differences and meeting the legal standards of both federal and state law is crucial. This is the first in a series of webinars focused on topics relevant to “Multijurisdictional Employers.”

Join PilieroMazza’s Nichola Atallah and Georgi Kokenis for an in-depth webinar as they explore the factors influencing worker classification; key legal tests used by the IRS, Department of Labor, and state agencies; and practical steps employers can take to remain compliant.

Learning objectives include:

  • understand key differences between independent contractors and employees and how they are classified under federal and state laws;
  • gain insight into various tests used to determine worker classification and the implications of each; and
  • learn strategies for mitigating the risks of misclassification and ensuring compliance with both federal and state regulations, including the importance of clear contracts, policies, and documentation.
