Naples: Employees vs. Independent Contractors - What is the Legal Difference?
LIVE IN PERSON IN NAPLES!
We’re excited to let you know we will be live and together for our MAY luncheon, and we can’t wait to see you! If you cannot join us live, we will still offer a ZOOM option to attend – see below.
Recent trends show employers using the services of independent contractors and freelancers more frequently in today’s business world. While this choice offers many advantages, there are restrictions that could lead to IRS and legal entanglements for the employer if not properly followed. To help local businesses understand this issue and better protect themselves, the Above Board Chamber of Florida has assembled a group of expert panelists for our May 10th luncheon seminar. Our panel of experts will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of both, as well as the responsibilities of a business owner. The panel will also review new and existing laws and explain the nuances involved when creating relationships with independent contractors. This seminar will help attendees better understand:
- The differences between an employee and an independent contractor
- Your rights and responsibilities as a business owner
Please note, we will be following the Hilton’s protocol for social distancing as well as their required mask mandate.
SEE YOU IN MAY! Jeanne Sweeney, CEO/Founder of the Above Board Chamber of Florida.
