I will assess your independent contractor classification risk and report
About this Gig
Misclassifying employees as contractors can trigger back payroll taxes, FLSA wage violations, DOL penalties, IRS assessments, and class-action lawsuits. A single misclassified worker earning $100,000 can generate over $135,900 in employment tax liability. As a licensed U.S. attorney, I assess your worker relationships against the IRS three-category test, DOL economic realities test, and applicable state ABC tests.
WHAT I ANALYZE:
- IRS behavioral, financial, and relationship factors
- DOL economic realities test compliance
- State-specific classification standards (ABC test where applicable)
- Contractor agreements vs. actual working relationships
- Benefits, FMLA, and anti-discrimination law implications
WHAT YOU GET:
- Classification risk report with per-worker risk ratings
- Regulatory test analysis with citations
- Identified misclassification exposure
- Remediation recommendations and reclassification steps

FAQ
What documents do you need for the assessment?
I need your contractor agreements, descriptions of work performed, how workers are supervised, payment structure, and whether workers have other clients. Details are collected via the order requirements form.
Which classification tests do you apply?
I apply the IRS three-category test (behavioral, financial, relationship), the DOL economic realities test, and state-specific tests including the ABC test where applicable to your jurisdiction.
Can you assess workers in multiple states?
Yes. Classification standards vary by state. I assess each worker under the applicable federal and state tests for the jurisdiction where they perform work.
Is this report a substitute for an IRS SS-8 determination?
No. My report provides a legal risk assessment based on applicable tests. An SS-8 is a formal IRS determination. My analysis helps you decide whether to request one or reclassify proactively.
Do you provide reclassification guidance?
Yes. The Premium package includes remediation recommendations such as reclassification steps, agreement revisions, and voluntary compliance program options to reduce exposure.
