Description
As more and more companies are leasing employees from professional employer organizations (PEOs), federal and state government agencies are scrutinizing the relationships between host organizations and their providers of leased employees.
In a quest to obtain more tax dollars, government agencies seek to establish that the host employer is actually the primary employer, making it liable for unpaid payroll, FUTA, SUTA, and FICA taxes. The determination that the host employer is the primary employer would also expose the host company to liability for retroactive employee benefits.
Because the determination of who the primary employer may be is highly fact driven, host employers must understand not only what facts and circumstances government agencies analyze but, more important, how to use those factors in a manner most favorable to themselves. That is what this fast paced, information rich session is all about - how to position your organization to successfully defend charges that your leased employees are actually YOUR employees.
Agenda
- The core fundamentals of determining if someone is an independent contractor or an employee
- The significant differences between the IRS common law tests and state ABC tests in determining who is an employee for state unemployment tax purposes
- Section 530 of the Revenue Act of 1978 - safe harbor where there was a reasonable basis for worker classification
- Whether workers are leased employees as defined in IRC Section 414(n) and the impact on testing
- The significant role of the Darden test - the right to control the manner and means by which work is accomplished on employee classification
- How to use ”Microsoft inoculation” provisions to mitigate the impact of misclassification
- The Browning-Ferris Decision and the NLRB’s New Joint Employer Standard
- Leased employees and the FMLA - who's responsible - the PEO or YOU? We'll tell you.
- Leased employees and accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act
- Who will OSHA cite if a leased employee is injured or killed? Find out here.
