| Abstract: | As independent contractor use by companies grows, it is increasingly important for CPAs to know how to manage independent contractor relationships in a way that will prevent unwanted problems. CPAs often are looked to by their employers - or by their clients - for guidance on complex independent contractor issues. Although potential Internal Revenue Service liability is the best known threat to companies using independent contractors on a large scale, it is not the only one. Failure to adopt effective preventive practices such as those outlined below can lead to liabilities arising from unemployment compensation, workers' compensation, employee benefits, overtime obligations and employment discrimination violations as well as a range of other unexpected costs. |
