Topic:
Maximizing Talent, Minimizing Risk: New Approaches For Compliant Independent Contractor Engagement

Speakers:

* Jay Lash, VP of Market Strategies – MBO Partners
* Art Knapp, EVP of MSP Segment – IQNavigator

A firestorm of 1099 compliance is sweeping the United States. From pending legislation in Congress, to State-led crackdowns, sweeping IRS audits and a well-funded mandate overhauling the way the IRS and DOL will jointly go after suspected worker classification, businesses that use independent contractors are waking up to the very real risks of worker misclassification. The consequences of getting independent contractor classification wrong can range from class action wage to issues such as tax reclassification penalties and even immigration tangles with DHS.

Despite these harrowing risks, businesses are relying on the agility and expert talent resources represented by contract talent – independent contractors, freelancers, SOW consultants — more than ever before. Pundits predict that as the economy rebounds, as much as 50% of jobs created will be contract positions. In the recovering economy, businesses must stay competitive and learn to safely harness the specialized, just-in-time talent of independent contractors.

In this one hour webcast, Art Knapp, EVP of MSP Segment from IQNavigator will be joined by Jay Lash, VP of Market Strategies for MBO Partners to discuss these issues and outline our breakthrough strategies and solutions for winning visibility, control, and compliance.
