Classifying Workers as Independent Contractors Continues to Be A Tricky Situation. In most situations, an employer’s right to control the details of an individual’s work, appearance, job duties, work schedule and other details will dictate whether the worker is an employee or an independent contractor. However, there is a growing trend toward a more expansive definition of employer and employee and greater liability for companies that contract for labor. We at the Law Offices of Tamar Karaguezian can help you review your policies whether you are hiring someone new or reclassifying someone.
