Small Business Workshops Presented by SCORE 3rd Wednesdays at 6:30pm (Plan on 1-1.5 hours of presentation plus 1/2 hour for Q&A) Employee vs. Independent Contractor There is a lot of confusion and mythology regarding employees vs. independent contractors. There are significant risks and penalties to labeling an individual incorrectly. It is therefore incumbent on the employer and the worker to understand the distinctions between and limitations on each category. This workshop is for new and middle-stage entrepreneurs.
