If you hire contractors for your business, there’s an extremely common FTC violation that many companies are making.

And they have no clue they’re violating the rules…

In today’s “Don’t Say That” episode, Greg and I break down the $7 million Arise Virtual Solutions case and reveal why it’s just the tip of the iceberg for gig economy companies.

There is so much about the “gig economy” and potential violations that I was totally unaware of. We covered…

  • Why the FTC’s $7 million fine could be pocket change compared to what’s coming next…
  • The Department of Labor’s new “economic reality” test that could turn your contractors into employees overnight…
  • How even well-meaning companies are falling into the misclassification trap…
  • The unexpected way your company laptop could land you in hot water with regulators…
  • Why California’s contractor laws are a glimpse into the future for the rest of the country…

Don’t worry, we also spent a ton of time showing you how to PROTECT yourself and your business, including…

  • The 16 factors regulators use to determine if someone’s really a contractor…
  • How to structure your contractor relationships to minimize risk…
  • The sneaky legal trick to make your non-disclosure agreements actually enforceable…
  • Why hiring international contractors might be your safest bet…

Look, here’s the deal. “The gig economy” is under unprecedented scrutiny, and ignorance is NOT a legal defense.

So whether you’re running a massive virtual workforce or just hiring the occasional freelancer, this episode is a must-listen.
