The Law Office of Dria Fearn

For my political brethren, I debunk a too common belief that plagues many campaigns-- the misclassification of day-to-day campaign workers. Good rule of thumb: if they are working in your office, they are not independent contractors. So pay your fair share of the payroll taxes and avoid penalties for willful misclassification starting January 1. Oh, and carry workers compensation insurance. Happy holidays from The Law Office of Dria Fearn.

Don't be caught misclassifying your workers as independent contractors. New law imposing steep fines goes into effect on January 1, 2012.

Effective January 31st, businesses must post notice informing employees of their rights. Post includes link to free, ready-to-print poster download (in English and Spanish).
