Employee Versus Independent Contractor

Conducted by the Internal Revenue Service, Federal, State & Local Government Agents

It is critical that every entity paying compensation understands whether its workers are employees or are the individuals truly independent contractors.

On February 15, 2012, the IRS will be conducting two free teleconference trainings for West Virginia Government Entities. The calls will be held at 10 AM and 2 PM.

These calls are limited to the first 125 callers. The sessions are identical so please only attend one session.

On the date of the call, simply call toll free, 1-866-606-4717 and then enter access code 9612531.

We will discuss the basics of the Employee versus Independent Contractor Laws, provide scenarios that we have seen similar during audits  where government entity misclassified employees, discuss reporting requirements, and discuss the tax consequences for improperly classifying an individual.

Special thanks to the West Virginia State Auditor’s Office for distributing this flyer to the local governments of West Virginia.
