| Abstract: | An employer should constantly evaluate the employment status of its workers to ascertain if any of them should be reclassified from an independent constractor to an employee. Misclassifying a worker could end up being costly in terms of money, time and resources. If an employer is forced to reclassify independent contractors as employees, the payment of back taxes, penalties, and interest could create major financial problems. Ultimately the risks of incorrect classification are borne by the employer. |
