Session I - Misclassified: Business Implications for Hiring Independent Contractors Versus Employees

What are the real business costs and differences between engaging independent contractors as service providers versus employees?  Beyond more obvious things like tax and benefits implications, what other factors should be considered classifying new hires (including concerns related to intellectual property and trade secret protection, as well as separation considerations)?   In other words, what does it really “cost” to hire an employee versus and independent contractor?  Additionally, what are the factors in-house counsel must evaluate to determine whether an individual is appropriately classified as either an independent contractor or an employee?  Finally, what are the range of consequences for misclassification?
