WEBINAR
DESCRIPTION |
|
There are a number of sound business reasons to engage
independent contractors and commendable public interest
considerations in offering unpaid internships.
There are, however, significant risks to employers who do
so, if these individuals are determined to be employees under
various federal and state statutes.
The US government and state officials are vigorously
pursuing employers who misclassify workers as independent
contractors or interns.
Employment attorney Mel Muskovitz will guide you through
the many rules that govern the issue of who is an employee and
who is not.
This program has been pre-approved for 1.5 hours of General recertification credit
hours through the HR Certification Institute. Use of the seal is
not an endorsement by the HR Certification Institute of the
quality of the program. It means that this program has met the
HR Certification Institute's criteria to be pre-approved for
