Working With Independent Contractors

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 6th edition -- completely revised to reflect the latest laws and court rulings -- includes detailed examples of how a business should hire freelancers.

The book comes with all the contracts you'll need, as tear-outs and on CD-ROM.
