Misclassifying workers is a high-risk area that can result in back-payments, penalties and legal disputes—often long after the work has been completed. This micro session provides a clear framework for understanding when a worker should be treated as an employee versus an independent contractor, and why the distinction matters.

Participants will learn:

• The key legal principles used to assess working relationships
• Why contracts alone are not determinative
• Common indicators of misclassification
• What “sham contracting” looks like in practice
• Steps employers can take to review and reduce risk

This session is essential for businesses engaging contractors or using flexible workforce arrangements who want to protect their business and make informed engagement decisions.
