Mountain View, CA (PRWEB) October 24, 2012

Awareness of the risks of misclassifying 1099 Independent Contractors is growing. There are estimated to be 3.4 million misclassified Independent Contractors, costing the government up to $54 billion. As a result, the IRS and US Department of Labor, as well as other federal and state agencies, are aggressively targeting companies who use Independent Contractors to audit for cases of 1099 worker misclassification.

For companies that use Independent Contractors, this webinar is designed to provide the knowledge to protect firms before an auditor comes knocking.

This webinar will:

• Provide an overview of the risks of misclassifying workers as Independent Contractors, and triggers for an audit
• Demonstrate how to implement a 1099 Independent Contractor evaluation process
• Assess key components to integrate in to the process
• Evaluate strategies for mitigating misclassification risk, including key contract terms, defensible policies and procedures
