Avoid lawsuits and learn how to navigate the complex rules of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
The independent contractor test is used to determine if a business is responsible for the employee under a myriad of laws. "To paraphrase a literary master undoubtedly schooled in Plato, 'a rose is a rose; it does not lose its fragrance, or thorns, simply by changing its name.'" - Miller Paper Co. (Texas Court of Appeals). Historically, employers attempt to shield themselves from Federal and State laws by calling employees independent contractors or contract workers. This presentation will provide a few simple tools to help you not get stabbed by a thorn.
