Understanding of Independent Contractor, Employee is Simple as Knocking Down Wall

October 2, 2012

Podcast host Tim Dodge is clearly an employee of IIABNY, serving as the association's director of research and media relations. That's not to say he could also be an independent contractor working as a part-time linguist consultant for an online for-profit university in his spare time. Because New York State is very specific about defining an employee versus an independent contractor, especially when it comes to the construction industry, Dodge made the topic the subject of his latest "Ask Tim" podcast episode. Learn why it's important to know the differences. Do workers' compensation and unemployment taxes come to mind?

After viewing the episode, visit the "Ask Tim" blog where you will find posts about health care reform and other topics. Have a question for the Geek? Give him a call at (800) 962-7950, ext. 229, e-mail him or complete this online form. Your question might be featured on a future "Ask Tim!"
