Determing employee status, "independent contractor or employee&qu

[Guest Needtokno]

I am seeking new information on current legal developments and personal experiences of professionals who deal "employee vs. independent contractor" issues in the workplace, particularly related to employee participation in benefit plaans. If you have information about other sources, questions, or just wish to share your own experience in this controversial area of "independent contractor or employee" status, benefit plans and participation, please let me know. Thanks very much.

I recently saw an ad for a web-based service called Internet Qualifier that evaluates workers' relationships with a company to determine employee vs. independent contractor status. If this sounds like it would be useful, contact ICon Independent Contractor Compliance Service, Foster City, CA. (The ad was in Human Resrouce Executive magazine, December 1998 issue)
