How does the MyW2Employer program benefit my company? MyW2Employer offers piece of mind and makes good business sense for everyone involved. As Microsoft and several other companies have discovered in very high-profile - and very expensive - legal cases, the line between a long-term independent contractor and a full-time employee can be blurrier than you might think. The only way to ensure that your contractors are not going to be reclassified by the IRS as full-time employees of your organization (at which point you would owe back taxes to the IRS), is to make sure that they are a full-time employee elsewhere. In addition, changes to the 1099 laws mean that if an independent contractor is liable for damages and does not have sufficient coverage, then the company that employed that contractor can be held liable for the damages of the independent contractor. MyW2Employer contractors are full-time contract employees of MyW2Employer, which means that you do not have to worry about employee status reclassification nor can you be held liable for workers compensation or business liability. Finally your company may cut contract staffing costs by up to 20%. Why is MyW2Employer better than a recruiting firm/agency? MyW2Employer is not involved in the recruiting process. Our program provides legal employer services only, freeing up contract professionals to manage their own business while providing them with the support and benefits they need to be successful.
