Abstract/Contents:Discusses a federal government "crackdown" by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to penalize misclassification, or using "independent contractors as a way of trimming labor costs." Explains that this method is perceived federally as "tax cheating" and that "employers can get hit with penalties for back federal and state taxes, liability for back wages, unpaid overtime and liability for medical expenses." Outlines potential steps for course owners to protect themselves from penalty, suggesting an internal course audit to ensure that all staff is correctly classified. Presents a list of questions for course owners that may clarify the difference between employees and independent contractors and details the IRS penalties for misclassification.
