The many contexts in which disputes arise over the status of workers as employees or independent contractors is burgeoning. A key feature of the book is its multidiscplinary character. Worker's status disputes arise in myriad contexts. Disputes arise with governmental taxing authorities, government labor and employment authorities, third-parties raising the status of workers in suits against the company. Plus, there are disputes between the company and the workers themselves.
Since prevention is nearly always better than a cure, this book also addresses planning for worker status, and drafting employment and/or independent contractor agreements. Extensive forms and appendices are included. Not only is the Fourth Edition full of the latest case, fully reflecting judicial and administrative law developments, but several key new legislative developments are covered.
