Many employers have been dealing with increasing work loads by hiring what
they believed were independent contractors, only to learn the hard and expensive
way that those individuals must be treated as employees. We will explain
the intricacies of employees versus independent contractors and the taxation and
administrative implications of each classification. Topics to be covered
include:
- Maine’s ABC test for the determination for whether an individual is an
employee or an independent contractor
- Internal Revenue Code test
- The significance of the determination for employment tax, unemployment
benefits and workers’ compensation purposes
- Strategies for handling state and federal review of employment
