Common Questions
FAQ
We call them contractors — isn't that enough?
No — the label in the contract doesn't control. Connecticut, New York, and Massachusetts each apply their own test based on the real working relationship, and Massachusetts in particular applies a strict standard. Misclassification can mean back taxes, penalties, and wage claims.
