Has your business classified workers as independent contractors who should really be classified as employees? This sensitive issue is a big concern for small business owners. More and more entrepreneurs are relying on independent contractors to handle their workloads, but the definition of “independent contractor” can be hazy. The Department of Labor is taking new aim at this problem for 2012, according to Compensation Café, and is joining with the IRS to share information, help reduce misclassification of employees and improve employer compliance.
