If you work with independent contractors in your business, you will want to listen closely to this podcast episode. In March 2024, the US Department of Labor issued new stricter guidelines regarding independent contractor workers.  Today's guest is HR consultant and expert, Kira La Forgia of Paradigm Consulting. She is breaking it all down for us so we avoid penalties and audits.  We talk about new changes, how they affect you, and how to protect yourself if you currently have team members who may be misclassified.  You may remember Kira from episode 238 where we talked about how to build your dream team. If you do not yet have a support team in your business, I would start with that episode and then come back and listen to this one next. Kira has a Future-Proof Your Team workshop that you can get $50 off of if you sign up via our link. Today’s episode is brought to you by our Deciding What to Delegate free workshop.
