Do you work with independent contractors or freelancers? 

Do you want to avoid getting in trouble with the law and the IRS?

In an easy and actionable course, I'll show you the necessary steps you need to take to hire independent contractors.

I'm a business lawyer and I have years of experiencing guiding people on how to legally hire independent contractors while staying away from legal trouble.

If you find yourself on this page, that means you’ve already taken the first step in hiring independent contractors and freelancers to help your business. Entrepreneurs usually use independent contractors for specialized, short-term work and it’s a great way to try out a worker before committing to a longer term.

In this course, I will clearly explain how to legally hire independent contractors and freelancers for your business and explain and even provide the contracts and forms you need in hiring freelancers.


WHY DO I NEED TO TAKE THIS COURSE?

You can save considerable amount of money by classifying a worker as an independent contractor rather than an employee. However, the Department of Labor and the IRS target businesses that use independent contractors.

There are some associated risks of working with independent contractors. Employer misclassification of employees as independent contractors, either inadvertently or to avoid taxation and regulation, is widespread but very risky.

In many states, you can face heavy violations for misclassifying employees as independent contractors.

By enrolling in this course, you can get all of your questions answered by a business lawyer.

Don’t take the risk of hiring or maintaining independent contractors until you’ve taken this course.

I have been looking for resources to help me better understand the 'under the hood' aspects of running a business. This course was a great step in that direction. It was well put together and did a great job of outlining things to consider when hiring and working with contractors. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because the instructor could have been a bit more engaging.

There are clear mistakes in the "quiz" made. Seems to be more legal disclaimers and jargon than understandable content. However, gives good foundation for future research and setting going about hiring independent bodies like contractors / freelancers.
