Lunch & Learn: Building Your Workforce – Employees, Contractors, and Compliance
Hiring the right people is only part of building a successful business. Knowing how to hire them, classify them, and stay compliant can be just as important.
Should you hire an employee or bring on a contractor? What’s the difference between W-2 and 1099 workers? And what happens when your team works across multiple states?
Join Employment Enterprises for a practical discussion about the workforce decisions businesses face as they grow, from choosing the right hiring model to avoiding costly compliance mistakes.
Topics include:
- Employees, contractors, consultants, and project-based talent: Which option makes sense for your business?
- W-2 vs. 1099 classification and common mistakes to avoid
- Exempt vs. non-exempt employees
- Hiring and managing workers across state lines
- Current workforce compliance requirements
- Building a workforce that can grow with your business
Whether you’re making your first hire or managing an established team, this session will help you better understand your options and the risks worth watching for.
