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 7th edition -- completely revised to reflect the latest laws and court rulings -- includes detailed examples of how a business should hire freelancers.

    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.
