Product Description
Product Description
Massachusetts has experienced an increase in wage and hour litigation focused on the misclassification of independent contractors. State and federal agencies continue to investigate and challenge the status of workers treated as independent contractors, and seek to recoup lost wages and other benefits as a result of alleged misclassifications. Massachusetts law is uniquely complex in the application of independent contractor status. Practitioners must be up-to-date on the latest developments in an area that represents one of the largest potential liabilities for employers.
This comprehensive, fast-moving program explores a range of common independent contractor issues—and strategic tactics for dealing with them—in a highly focused setting. Attend to learn how to better handle the next independent contractor issue your client faces—from initial inquiry through litigation and settlement. Bring your questions and experiences to participate in the discussion.
