Many employers have individuals classified as independent contractors who are more properly classified as employees. Federal and state agencies, and private attorneys through wage and hour class action lawsuits, actively prosecute and litigate companies for these errors.
Julie Proscia will provide employers the tools necessary to properly identify and classify individuals who work with their organizations and with the ability to draft policies that protect their intellectual property and branding without creating additional employment liabilities.
