Employee Versus Independent Contractor: Best Practices for Preventing Worker Misclassification
Wednesday, March 31, 2PM ET
Misclassifying employees as independent contractors can expose employers to significant liability for overtime, minimum wage, taxes, benefits, unemployment insurance premiums, workers’ compensation insurance premiums, and more. With DOL, state enforcement agencies, and the plaintiffs’ class action bar focused on misclassification, it is more important than ever for employers to take a fresh look at their independent contractor practices.

Infopak
Management and Defense of Employee Whistleblower Claims
sponsored by jackson lewis llp
This InfoPAK provides in-house counsel with comprehensive information on the management and defense of employee whistleblower claims. Highlighting the liabilities and other challenges employers face in this context, it includes an overview of Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other federal whistleblower laws and the critical elements of an internal reporting mechanism (a so-called “whistleblower” program). These sections are followed by an in-depth review of whistleblower litigation. The final section discusses new whistleblower provisions in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“ARRA”) and its implications for organizations that elect to receive federal stimulus dollars.
