Overview of Navigator Independent Contractor:

It is incredibly difficult to mitigate independent contractor misclassification manually. Since Congress, state legislators, federal and state agencies, unions, plaintiff’s attorneys and other groups all focused on regulating independent contracting, the legal updates and risks are seemingly endless.

Therefore, if your organization engages independent contracts to get work done, you are most likely exposing your organization to significant compliance risk.

Different federal and state laws apply different tests for IC status – three, four or even six different tests may apply to a single contractor under wage-hour, unemployment, workers’ compensation, employment tax, safety and equal opportunity laws. With this complexity, how is an employer supposed to know if a worker is an independent contractor or an employee?
