Coffee + Counsel: Contractor or Employee? Avoid Costly Classification Mistakes
Q+A Session
November 7, 2024
Join us for Coffee + Counsel, a complimentary webinar series where you can connect with our lawyers for an unscripted discussion about legal issues relevant to organizations operating in Alberta and the Northwest Territories. We'll be sharing our legal perspectives, but we also want to hear from you - your questions will guide the conversation and help us understand the issues that matter most to you.
With the evolving nature of work arrangements, it's crucial for HR professionals to understand the distinctions between independent contractors, dependent contractors, and employees. Misclassification can lead to significant legal liabilities and financial penalties.
Whether you are an employer or HR professional, this complimentary webinar will provide valuable information and practical tips, including:
- How do you distinguish between an independent contractor, a dependent contractor, and an employee?
- What legal tests are used to determine proper worker classification?
- What are the consequences of misclassifying a worker?
- What practical steps can be taken to minimize the risk of misclassification?
Grab your coffee or tea and discuss your concerns in a dynamic and open virtual Q+A session with Joël Michaud, Laura MacFarlane, Daisy Feehan and David di Gianvittorio.
