Program Preservation Initiative: Coping With the Economic Downturn
Lawyers Alliance helps nonprofits cope with the legal impact of the Economic Downturn at a time of increased demand for their services. There are strategies that nonprofits can adopt to preserve programs and manage risks caused by anticipated cuts in State and City budgets, decreases in foundation support, and rising pressures on individual donations.
In 2009-2010, we are making it a priority to offer legal representation services and educational programs that foster stability and support the resilience of the nonprofit sector during this challenging financial period.
This month's board topic is Use of Independent Contractors
1. What is the difference between an employee and an independent contractor?
2. How do we know if a worker is properly classified as an independent contractor?
3. Does having a written agreement that states the worker is an independent contractor end the analysis?
4. What is the risk if we misclassify a worker as an independent contractor rather than an employee?
For answers, see our most recent Legal Alert on Use of Independent Contractors.
