Clock’s ticking!! The DOL’s new ruling on independent contractor misclassification goes into effect in less!than!a!week!

What does this mean for you??

Well, if you’re a business owner who nods your head “yes” after reading reading these two statements:

You understands you’re not in compliance with how you’ve classified your team and are ready to switch from contractors to employees; and,You want to keep the same folks in the same roles, just with a new classification to get your business on the right side of the law.

Then the time is NOW to sit down and talk to your team about proposed changes to their classification and to make sure everyone’s on the same page.

But now you’re probably wondering how the heck to bring up this conversation with them, right? What do they need to know about the switch? How will this *actually* impact your relationship with them? What if a contractor refuses to make the switch?

Let’s get into it!
