Classifying Workers in California: Independent Contractors, Volunteers & Employees

Please share:

The Nonprofit Organizations Committee is excited to announce its presentation of:

Classifying Workers in California: Independent Contractors, Volunteers & Employees

December 19, 2019, 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

Please join the Nonprofit Organizations Committee for a program on the topic of “Classifying Workers in California: Independent Contractors, Volunteers & Employees. ” Our presenter is Cecilie Read of Jackson Lewis. Misclassifying a worker in your organization can be one of the most dangerous things an employer can do in California. Whether it is misclassifying the worker as an independent contractor when they more appropriately should have been an employee or misclassifying an employee as exempt when they should have been classified as non-exempt. All types of misclassification can mean an employer suddenly owes overtime, meal and rest period penalties. And worse, administrative agencies such as the EDD want to make sure they get all the taxes due.

Cecilie Read is a knowledge management attorney at Jackson Lewis, supporting their advice and counseling department serving California employers to ensure they are in compliance with California employment law. Ms. Read previously counseled employers in all matter of California employment law from hiring and terminations as well as defending employers in employment law litigation.

This presentation will be accessible via conference call, which is free and open to the public.  The conference call can be accessed at the following dial-in number starting at 10:00 a.m.:
