Employe Rights under Wisconsin's Dwd Wisconsin Form

Instructions and help about Employe Rights Under Wisconsin's Dwd Wisconsin

Employers are required by law to correctly  classify each worker as either an "employee"   or an "independent contractor." There are  significant differences between employees   and independent contractors that affect both the  worker and the business. Generally, employees are   eligible for additional legal protections relating  to minimum wage and overtime, discrimination,   worker compensation, and unemployment. Independent  contractors are typically not granted any of these   protections and are responsible for paying the  employer's portion of any state or federal taxes.   There are serious consequences for employers  that misclassify employees that may include tax,   interest, and penalties.
