Independent Contractor Classification Tip #7

Posted by Liz Greene

Ready for independent contractor classification tip #7? Here it is:

If you already have a compliance program in place, don’t be afraid to spot check frequently; request a few randomly selected contractor compliance files and evaluate them for completeness.
