Contingent Workers: Contracts & Management Issues

More and more employers are using "contingent" workers to augment their current fulltime employee staff or to perform discrete projects. As advantageous as this is, however, employers frequently get burned when their contracts with independent contractors do not properly establish the workers independentcontractor status, or their agreements with leasing companies fail to adequately protect against the risk of the companies either not paying the employment taxes or even disappearing without paying the workers leaving the employers to foot the bill.
