“Just as kryptonite saps Superman of all his superpowers, a “toxic employee” can sap the energy right out of your company. This toxic employee – true to the name – can poison the business atmosphere where you work, and can make it difficult, if not impossible, to manage effectively. The toxicity is insidious, and can drag you, your staff and co-workers into an abyss of low morale and decreased productivity. But there is hope…”

Increasingly, cash-strapped governments are looking at what they call the “tax gap” which includes unpaid payroll taxes, unemployment taxes, etc. on mis-categorization of employees as independent contractors. There is also the real concern that these independent contractors are being deprived of worker protections such as minimum wage, overtime, health insurance benefits, workers compensation, and unemployment benefits.

If the government doesn’t get you, watch out for potential claims for benefits from those you classify as independent contractors. When an individual files a claim and an investigation is triggered, it typically expands to cover other similarly situated workers. An assessment of unpaid unemployment taxes, plus interest and penalties, may follow.

Watch this free webinar to:

• Understand the risks and costs associated with mis-categorization
• Learn about the latest legislation and how it affects you
• Review case studies and learn how to identify risky situations
• Learn strategies to reduce your risk and avoid an audit or litigation
