Synopsis: If your business hires independent contractors, freelancers or consultants, this book is for you -- and essential.

Working with independent contractors can save you a bundle -- but the rules regarding who qualifies are complicated, and misclassifying a worker can result in serious financial penalties from your state or IRS.

If you hire programmers, writers, designers, marketing consultants, nurses, janitors, telemarketers, drivers -- in a word, anyone -- on a contractual basis, you need Working With Independent Contractors. This book shows you how to:

create a valid contract

assess who qualifies as an independent contractor

hire ICs without risking an audit

retain ownership of intellectual property when using ICs

handle an IRS audit

take advantage of the IRS's "Safe Harbor" law

The CD-ROM that accompanies the printed version of this book includes forms or other tools; in this eBook, you'll find all those documents in the appendix or at the back of the book.
