Worker Classification is Not a Game

Why is worker classification important?

Worker classification compliance is important because it is the law. Businesses that classify employees as independent contractors - knowingly or unknowingly - are not only out of compliance with labor law, but are engaged in a high-stakes game of financial and operational roulette. FieldOwler was developed to support businesses and enable them to be informed in order to make the best classification decisions possible to stay ahead in the marketplace.

What can result from misclassification?

In the event independent contractors are determined to be employees by a government agency or in the courtroom, businesses can face significant costs due to back pay that may be owed to employees, associated back taxes, interest, and any imposed penalties. In fact, the Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor uncovered $1.2 billion in back wages during the past five years. Don't get checkmated...FieldOwler enables businesses to make informed and holistic worker classification decisions.
