PA Bill to Make Misclassification a FelonyA Pennsylvania bill that would make the misclassification of employees as 1099 independent contractors a felony is making progress after passing in the House on Monday.
"Misclassifying employees as independent contractors is a tax-evasion strategy," the bill's sponsor, Delaware County Democrat Rep. Bryan R. Lentz said. "Until we impose harsh penalties on the practice, workers and law-abiding employers will continue to get cheated. When we allow some unscrupulous employers to avoid responsibility to their workers, we allow them to gain a competitive advantage over the vast majority of employers who do play by the rules and who do treat their employees fairly."
