The Contingent Workforce - Are

They Contractors, Temps, Leased Or

Your Employees?

Alabama SHRM State Conference

May 2014

Definitions

Employee: A worker who is subject to the control of the employer. The employer defines what work shall be done and how.

Contingent Worker: A worker engaged to perform services free from the direction and control of the employer, except for the result of the work. This worker is sometimes referred to as an independent contractor.

Co-employment: An employment relationship where two organizations exert some control over an individual"s work or working conditions, resulting in both organizations having actual or potential legal obligations and duties with respect to that individual.

Pros & Cons Of

A Contingent Workforce

PROS

Reduces management of “non-core"

Reduces HR burden of vendor"s employee (no direct support, but obligation to investigate claims remains)

Lowers cost of benefit administration, training and development and other ‘employee-specific" costs

Greater flexibility to staff up or down (no “lay off" issues) Reduces overhead costs for vendor work performed offsite CONS

Less supervision of work

Reduces management of “non-core"

Reliance on vendor to select, develop and retain talent Increases resources required for contract administration and vendor management

Loss of workers" comp immunity to suit

Potential for increased risks to confidential data

Onsite contractors still incur overhead costs

Loss of continuity; ramp up-

ramp down costs

How Big Is This Issue?

10 million contingent workers

7% of total employment

Federal Statistics Relied

Upon By IRS And DOL

Up to 15% of employers misclassify workers

3.4 million workers are contractors, when they should

be employees Revenue loss to U.S. Treasury is $1.6 billion, annually: -Income tax -Social Security -Medicare -Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund

What Is The DOL Doing?

WHD, OFCCP, OSHA & Office of the Solicitor hire new investigators to investigate misclassification

Budgets include millions of dollars for the hiring of new personnel within WHD to investigate misclassification

Budgets include millions of dollars available to states to enhance their mechanisms for conducting misclassification

audits

If We Just Close Our Eyes,

Will This Go Away?

Federal/State Budget Deficits

-Increased tax payments

Increased compensation-based private claims

-Unpaid Wages or Overtime (FLSA) -Past Benefits (Health and Welfare, Pension and 401(k)) -Monetary Relief under various State and Federal Laws, including Title VII, FMLA, ADA & NLRA

Focus of Plaintiffs" Attorneys

-Significant damages that are easy to prove -Significant attorneys' fees

Now That I Have Your

Attention...

Today, we will be covering:

Determination of independent contractor:

-Understand and recognize the factors that differentiate between "contractors" and "employees" -Review the various laws that are impacted by improper classification of workers -Review the consequences of misclassification

Joint/co-employment issues

National Labor Relations Act

Practical takeaways

Tests To Determine

Proper Classification

Common Law “Right to Control" Test

IRS Category Test (replaced IRS “20-

Factor" Test)

FLSA

“Economic

Realities" Test

"Right to Control"

Hiring party"s control over details of the work

Worker"s occupation and skill

Relevance of work to company"s business

Worker"s investment, materials and tools

Location of work

Duration of the relationship

Control of work hours

Method of payment

Right to hire assistants

Taxes, employee benefits

Parties" intentions

"20-Factor"

Instructions

Training integration

Services rendered personally

Hiring, supervising, paying assistants

Continuing relationship

Set hours of work

Full-time required

Working on business premises

Order or sequence set

Oral or written reports

Payment of business/traveling expenses

Furnishing tools and materials

Significant investment

Realization of profit or loss

Working for more than one business at a time

Making services available to the general public

Company"s right to discharge

Worker"s right to terminate

Current IRS Category Test

Behavioral Control: Amount of control of

where , when and how the job is done

Financial Control: Worker"s pay, business

expenses and facility investment

Type of Relationship of the Parties: Written

agreements, benefits, length of relationship "Economic Realities" “Economic reality" rather than “technical concepts" The U.S. Supreme Court held that it is the total activity or situation that controls. Significant factors: -The extent to which the services rendered are an integral part of the principal's business -The permanency of the relationship -The amount of the alleged contractor's investment in facilities and equipment -The nature and degree of control by the principal -The alleged contractor's opportunities for profit and loss

-The amount of initiative, judgment or foresight in open market competition with others required for the success of the independent

contractor -The degree of independent business organization and operation

Consequences of

Misclassification

Consequences of

Misclassification

FLSA Liability:

Retroactive entitlement to overtime pay by the contractor for two to three years Employer likely has not kept accurate time records, leading to inability to defend claims Liquidated (double) damages are applied; attorney"s fees can be awarded

DOL audits and investigations can result

Class actions can result in exorbitant costs and settlements

Liability for overtime

Joint and several liability

-If team with staffing agency, must be "completely disassociated with respect to the employment of a particular employee"

Consequences of

Misclassification

State Laws:

Possibly the employee"s share of taxes, which should have been withheld, plus penalties and interest State tax liability often will trigger investigation into unpaid workers"

compensation and unemployment benefits. This also can result conversely when contractors apply for such benefits after termination

Suspension or revocation of incorporation or limited liability status, commissioner can revoke “licenses" for repeat offenders and business subject to subsequent audits thereafter Criminal sanctions and administrative penalties and significant financial penalties that are subject to increase if found to be knowing misclassification Responsible for underpaid wages, overtime, benefits or taxes on behalf of misclassified workers

Consequences of

Misclassification

ERISA Liability:

Class actions

Retroactive entitlement to benefits by the contractor Plan may fail coverage or discrimination tests, or may be deemed to violate minimum participation standards Plan may be liable for wrongful denial of benefits and breach of fiduciary duty claims

Temporary Staffing:

EEOC Guidance

EEOC Enforcement Guidance: Application of EEO Laws to Contingent Workers Placed by Temporary Employment

Agencies and Other Staffing Firms:

-Covers temporary employees, leased employees and project management -Staffing firms must hire and make job assignments in a non-discriminatory manner -Both staffing firms and their clients share EEO responsibilities

-Both client and staffing company are considered employers if they have the right to control the work and have the statutory minimum number of employees

Temporary Staffing:

Potential Exposure

Litigation

Eligibility for benefits

Unknown employment issues

-Discrimination -Harassment -Immigration -Retaliation

Drafting Staffing Agreements

Drafting Staffing Agreements

Make the agreement with the staffing company, not the worker

Clearly designate the responsibilities and services of each party - hiring, firing, training, assigning work, making work rules, etc.

Specify job descriptions

Indicate situations under which employer may terminate the contract

Delineate all confidentiality requirement

Stipulate which party is responsible for payroll, withholding and payment of taxes Clarify who has primary responsibility for paying and providing workers" compensation insurance

Indicate the extent to which employee benefits will be provided by the staffing company and the employees" level of contribution

The National Labor Relations Act

NLRA applies only to employees. A common tactic of labor unions seeking to organize workers is to challenge the independent contractor status of a group of workers that perform a certain function for companies in a particular industry. The unions then seek a court determination that the workers are employees entitled to the right to organize and bargain for the terms and conditions of their work.

Immigration Laws &

Contingent Workers

Form I-9/Immigration Compliance Liability

-You DO NOT complete a Form I-9 for persons who are contingent workers

-However, employers cannot contract for labor of a contingent worker if the employer knows the contingent worker is an "undocumented" worker or not authorized to work in the U.S.

-Civil Monetary Fines

ICE fines employers

-Criminal Prosecution

ICE makes criminal arrests tied to ICE investigations; hundreds are owners, managers, supervisor or human resources individuals

ICE requires employers to pay millions as forfeited funds

Practical Tips for Managing and

Minimizing Risk

Determine who are legally independent contractors: -Do they meet the criteria of the tests? -Review written agreements. -Examine the facts on the ground- actual job duties. -Train managers in how to deal properly with contractors. -Know the legal risks.

Practical Tips for Managing and

Minimizing Risk

Virtually any independent contractor classification could come under scrutiny if: -The work is part of the company's normal business; -The company exerts significant control over the manner in which the work is performed, as opposed to the quality of the goods or service provided; -The worker cannot or does not work for other clients or customers; and/or -The worker cannot subcontract the work

Practical Tips for Managing and

Minimizing Risk

Consider whether to terminate all independent contractor agreements and rehire as employees Consider hiring independent contractors through temporary agency or other company Loosen restrictions and control; allow subcontracting or work for other clients
