Strategies for Responding to States Limiting Enforceability
What we have learned from the pandemic is that owners and operators must be prepared for anything. It has become clear talent (and retaining talent) is at a premium, making today’s job market more competitive than ever.
While owners and operators may have been less concerned that a loyal employee would receive and accept an offer to move on to another opportunity in the past, that concern has universally grown in the past year.
Our panelists will take a deep dive into how staffing companies can protect themselves and preserve their teams in the battle for staffing professional talent.

Avoiding the Pitfalls: Common Compliance Mistakes IT Staffing Companies Often Make
Tuesday, October 12, 2021
Compliance is something that applies to the IT Staffing Industry, no matter what their size is. While many IT Staffing Firms should have some sort of compliance strategy mapped out, not many know how to integrate these processes and strategies to ensure profitability & operational efficiency. Though compliance planning requires a lot of time and energy to address, if not properly addressed, these compliance mistakes can cost millions of dollars. Despite their best efforts, companies frequently make the same mistakes when it comes to a thorough and effective compliance strategy. Our team of IT Staffing veterans will walk through the common mistakes they have seen and how they addressed these to ensure complete compliance.
Correct classification of YOUR employees?
Per diem classification for traveling nurse, healthcare, and IT staffing firms
Correctly classifying workers as independent contractors is being scrutinized more today than at any time throughout our country’s history. While the prior administration looked to ease the burden of employers proving valid independent contractor relationships at the federal level, our current administration appears to be more in line with states that have followed the more stringent ABC Test (most prominently, California).
With the overwhelming high demand and minimal supply of these high-level professionals, the consultants carry much more leverage in deciding how they prefer to be classified (W-2 vs. independent contractor).
Employee vs. Independent Contractor: Avoiding Costly Misclassifications
Correctly classifying employees vs. independent contractors (IC) is essential for determining the need for wage withholdings, taxation issues, employee benefits, workers compensation, and more. Sarah Davis and Chris Leddy join Julie Ann Bittner to discuss the three common classification tests used to determine IC classification status, exemptions, and practical concerns specific to the staffing industry. They also share steps staffing company owners can take to minimize risk including contractual provisions, documentation, and more.
