What is Misclassification of Employees and why should you care? Because the US Department of Labor and Colorado Department of Labor will fine and seek damages from any employer that incorrectly classifies its employees – no more warnings. Additionally, there are workers’ compensation coverage implications if you fail to adequately cover individuals you believe are contractors, but in the eyes of the Department are employees. Two years ago, the Department of Labor announced its enforcement hit list: Employers that misclassify their employees, such as alleged independent contractors who are really employees and employees improperly classified as “exempt” from overtime. Every company in Colorado who either has employees or advises businesses with employees must recognize these issues to avoid issues of a potential audit. All it takes is one complaint from a disgruntled ex-employee to get the entire organization audited by either Department of Labor, going back two years. This program examines what the US Department of Labor in Denver looks at, how to correctly classify employees in the hot button areas, and how to fix past “mistakes.”
