Employee Classification

June 7, 2018 | 2 p.m. ET

Private clubs, and many other employers across the United States, have frequently classified certain workers as independent contractors. Issues such as wage theft and claims for unpaid taxes have raised the stakes for anyone who considers identifying someone as an independent contractor rather than an employee. Learn about the legal trends and potential risk areas impacting your club from attorneys Cindy Arellano and Thomas Lenz, who recently updated NCA reference series monograph, “Independent Contractor Compliance.”
