Independent Contractor Misclassification

• Uses independent contractors as part of its business;
• Is concerned about audits by the state or federal government; or
• Wants to decide what kind of workers to use.

Many businesses prefer to use independent contractors instead of employees. This can have economic advantages for both the company and the worker. But, it also comes with certain limitations.

This can lead to penalties, increased taxes, and liability to the worker.
