Employers are increasingly relying on independent contractors to streamline operations and cut costs, while the federal and state governments are cracking down on what they see as improper classification of workers to avoid payroll taxes. If your company is using contractors, then you cannot afford to risk misclassifying them. Attorney <b>Elizabeth T. Dunning</b> from Holland & Hart will walk you through the various tests used to determine whether a worker is correctly classified as an independent contractor. She will also give you tips for drafting enforceable independent contractor agreements.<br /> </li></p> <p><li><b>Briefing 4: "Background Checks and the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA)"</b><i><br />Wednesday, April 11, 2012</i><br /><br /><i>Do you use a vendor to conduct background checks on job applicants? If so, are you familiar with the FCRA s restrictions on what information you can seek, when you can seek it, and the procedures you must follow to make sure the very practice you engage in to protect your company doesn t come back to create liability instead? If you don t conduct background checks, should you?</i> Attorney <b>Scott M. Petersen</b> from Fabian & Clendenin will cover these tricky issues and provide clarity on both your rights as an employer and the areas most likely to get you into trouble when it comes to background checks.<br /> </li></p> <p><li><b>Briefing 5: "Ten Mistakes Plaintiffs Employment Law Attorneys Hope You Make"</b><i><br />Wednesday, June 13, 2012</i><br /><br /><i>Want to know what makes a plaintiffs attorney s mouth water when sitting down with your former employee discussing the case they re about to file against you?</i> At this briefing, you will have the unique experience of gaining valuable insight from two noted local plaintiffs employment law attorneys, <b>Kass Harstad</b> from Strindberg & Scholnick and <b>April Hollingsworth</b> from Hollingsworth Law Office. They will discuss how they assess the strength of a case and what red flags they look for when scrutinizing your employment decisions.<br /> </li></p> </ul> <p>&nbsp; </p> <!-- InstanceEndEditable --></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><div align="right" class="mainfooter"> <p align="center">175 WEST 200 SOUTH, SUITE 2005 &#8226; SALT LAKE CITY, UT 84101 &#8226; PHONE 801.364.8479 &#8226; FAX 801.364.8915 &#8226; EMAIL <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> print_mail_to_link() </script></p> </div></td> </tr> </table> </body> <!-- InstanceEnd --></html>
