Employee or Not Employee? That is the Question.
On April 30, 2018, the California Supreme Court made a ruling that may make it difficult for you to classify your workers as independent contractors. Employers in California have traditionally used the set Industrial Welfare Commission (IWC) standards, such as “exercises control”, to determine if a worker was classified as an “employee” or as an “independent contractor”.
