Contractor today, lawsuit tomorrow

This episode is for the owner who thinks they're being savvy by calling their full-time worker a "contractor" to dodge payroll taxes—spoiler alert: you're not being clever, you're storing a legal and financial landmine. It zeros in on that moment when you realize the IRS has clearer rules than you do, and walks you through how to audit your roster, get honest about who's truly independent, and move the rest to actual payroll before an audit finds you first. You'll hear how proper classification actually protects your profit more than it costs, and how to structure real independent contractors so they're truly independent—on paper and in practice.
