How to Classify Contractors vs. Employees (In Person or Online)

Does your nonprofit utilize independent contractors? Do you understand the difference between contractors and employees? Join us for this important training that will help you understand the government regulations that differentiate these types of workers.

Learning Objectives

• Acquire a working knowledge of the legal standards governing classification of workers
• Acquire tools to analyze and make appropriate organizational decisions regarding worker classification
• Understand the consequences associated with misclassification of workers

Description

Few nonprofit organizations understand that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the United States Department of Labor (DOL), and the State of New Mexico have stringent standards with regard to when workers are classified as independent contractors. In the last year, both the IRS and the DOL have stepped-up enforcement of incorrect worker classification and are actively hunting for these costly violations. This training will provide the information needed to avoid incorrectly hiring and classifying independent contractors for your nonprofit.
