Your
independent contractor has done a fabulous job. You originally
hired him for a 3 month assignment but found you could use him on an
another project for 6 months then another comes along and before you know
it he's been with you for over a year. All of a sudden every one at your
company thinks he's an employee including maybe even him. What's
worse is even the law and the IRS may think he's your employee. The
IRS has provided a list of 20 common law factors to assist in
determining whether a contingent worker is an employee or an independent contractor. Is it important that your company
is not exposed to risk of independent contractor reclassification? You
bet or you may be faced with very
expensive fines, penalties and potential law suits.(see) Vizcaino v. Microsoft
Are you at risk? What now?
