On today's episode of the podcast I'm sharing what you need to know when it comes to hiring contractors. Get on the waitlist for our newsletter and contractor compliance resources at notavglaw.com/newsletter 1. Contractor vs. Employee You've heard me talk about legal layers of protection, and the base level is compliance aka not breaking the law like paying your taxes and not misclassifying your workers. The state cares about worker classification because they get payroll taxes. The state is also responsible for enforcing minimum wage requirements, worker's compensation, overtime, etc. The state is invested in protecting the people that work in the state. The IRS cares because you should be paying payroll taxes for employees. If you're misclassifying, they aren't getting their taxes and it's easier for them to get taxes from employees than tracking down contractors. The worker cares because if you're a contractor, your place of work and time/ hours of work can't be dictated if it's not within reason. This is also a problem when workers who don't have businesses and don't want to have businesses don't know about quarterly tax withholding and get stuck with tax penalties at the end of the year. 2. Determining employee vs. contractor All states use different tests, but generally the tests fall into one of two categories: the totality of the circumstances test and the ABC test. With the totality test the burden of proof is usually on the worker, and with the ABC test it's on the business to prove the worker could have been a contractor. If you feel like you are in a more relaxed state when it comes to this, know that there are also federal laws around employees vs. contractors to look into. Inside the newsletter you'll find our Contractor On-boarding Toolkit that includes our State-by-State Classification Guide and our California Contractor Compliance Framework Guide. Sign up for the newsletter at notavglaw.com/newsletter 3. What type of contractor are they? If they can be a contractor, before we onboard we need to know what kind of contractor they can be. Generally speaking, we can divide contractors into two main buckets: people who are working in our business (this is not typically common as they would often be employees but there are state-by-state exceptions) and people who are project-based contractors. It can come down to who is leading the conversation. For example, if I'm onboarding a contractor and they don't have a business or a contract, I'm sending the contract and leading the conversation. If they have a business, for example a brand photographer, they have their own contract and invoice process. If you're onboarding, you'll need a process (again, be very careful about those classification tests and how control and direction plays a part in that). You should always have a contract (we've got them in the Contract Club notavglaw.com/club) and there should be a contract per worker per event/project. For example, if they're a second shooter you'd need a contract per event with them. You'll also want a copy of their business license because some states have business to business carve outs and this will help prove if they're a business. We also recommend getting a W-9 before you ever pay them. 4. What goes into the contract? There are some basics, like a work made for hire agreement which ensures that you get copyright ownership for your business. There's also a provision that the worker understands they're not an employee, though this doesn't absolve you from any audit liability. Outline payment terms. 5. Training This is difficult to talk about in regards to contractors because one of the factors is we are not training people or dictating what they do because they should be equipped with the skills to do what you're hiring them to do, otherwise they should be an employee. I would consider this more of an orientation to a training so you're orienting them to your business and language. You're not training them how to do their job.

Understanding the Implications of Hiring Contractors vs Employees in Therapy PracticesIn this episode of 'Therapy for Your Money,' host Julie Herres discusses the implications of employing contractors versus employees in therapy practices. She unpacks a recent ruling from the Department of Labor and its six factors for determining employment relationships. She emphasizes that legislation is moving towards favoring employee relationships. While the immediate impact on therapy practices may be limited, it is prudent for owners to begin considering the transition from contractors to employees.

Are you looking for a way to enhance your hiring process? In this episode, Becca Eberhart, CEO at Maximum Lawyer discusses the transformative potential of video introductions in the hiring process. AI tools like ChatGPT are being used to craft resumes and cover letters. This means hiring managers are not able to really know if a candidate's credentials and experience is true or accurate. Becca talks about how integrating video introductions into the recruitment process is a game changer to really get to know the candidate. You are able to hear and see them right off the bat and get to know their personality and style. Normal resumes and cover letters can be generic and it can be difficult to find the perfect candidate for a role. Video introductions act as a preliminary face to face conversation with the candidate. This can quickly cut say 30 resumes down to a select few.Becca walks through a few things to consider when deciding to use video introductions in the recruitment process. One thing is to establish clear guidelines and instructions for candidates to follow so they create a video that will get them noticed. It is a good idea to not tell them how to record the video or what tool to use. This can be a great way to see how resourceful the candidate is. Another thing is to set a time limit of how long the video needs to be. This will show if candidates understand how to be concise and focused. Since it is an introduction, keep videos short and to no longer than 1 minute. Listen in to understand how to streamline your selection process!00:23 Video introductions provide a more personal way to evaluate candidates1:18 Text-based resumes may not effectively differentiate candidates2:30 To incorporate video introductions, set clear guidelines for candidatesTune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here.

The podcast by project managers for project managers. Selecting contractors and negotiating the terms of a major project is one of the most difficult aspects of project management. In this episode Ed Merrow sheds light on fairness in contracting relationships, for the relationships to be self-enforcing, and how not to unwittingly set your contractors up to fail.  Table of Contents 02:53 … Meet Ed05:28 … Contract Strategies for Major Projects06:59 … Hiring Contractors is Never Easy07:55 … Key Principle #209:12 … #1 There is No Free Lunch10:20 … TINSTAAFL11:28 … #3 Complex Projects Need Simple Contracting Strategies13:03 … Collaboration15:07 … #4 Owners and Contractors are Different17:44 … #5 Large Risk Transfers are More Illusion than Reality19:25 … Importance of Scoping21:29 … #6 Contractors have Shareholders23:14 … Ren25:29 … #7 Contracting Games are Rough Sport27:05 … #8 Assigning a Risk to Someone Who Cannot Control that Risk is Foolish29:07 … #9 All Contracts are Incentivized33:20 … #10 Economize on The Need for Trust36:40 … The Value of Prequalifying Contractors40:13 … Getting the A-Team or the B-Team42:48 … Get in Touch with Ed44:02 … Closing ED MERROW: ...both owners and contractors play games.  Contractors usually win those games.  My advice is try to keep games out of your contracts.  Try not to put in a bunch of complex provisions whereby you think that the contractor will “have skin in the game.”  I want owners to remember that skin in the game is almost always owner skin.  WENDY GROUNDS:  You're listening to Manage This.  This podcast is by project managers for project managers.  My name is Wendy Grounds, and with me in the studio are Bill Yates and Danny Brewer.  We love having you join us twice a month to be motivated and inspired by project stories, leadership lessons, as well as advice from industry experts from all around the world.  We want to bring you some support as you navigate your projects.

Today our guest is Ed Merrow.  Ed is the founder, president, and CEO of Independent Project Analysis, the global industry leader in quantitative analysis and benchmarking of project management systems.  Ed received his degrees from Dartmouth College and Princeton University; and he began his career as an assistant professor at the University of California, Los Angeles.  He followed that with 14 years as a research scientist at the RAND Corporation, where he directed the Energy Research Program.  We're talking to Ed particularly today about his most recent major research effort which is centered on the quantitative analysis of how contracting strategies and delivery systems shape project results.  His new book is on this subject, and it's titled “Contract Strategies for Major Projects.” BILL YATES:  In our conversation with Ed on procurement and contract strategies, Ed is going to share with us the key principles of contracting that all those involved with planning and executing major projects should know.  Here are three things to listen out for on this episode.  One, contractors may make convenient scapegoats, but they are rarely to blame for bad projects.  Number two, we depend heavily on trust, yet trust is not a contracting strategy.  And number three, contractors are almost always more skilled at playing those contracting games than those owners are. WENDY GROUNDS:  Hey, Ed.  Welcome to Manage This.  Thank you so much for joining us today. ED MERROW:  Well, thank you, Wendy.  I'm glad to be here. Meet Ed WENDY GROUNDS:  We are looking forward to getting into this topic.

Kira La Forgia of Paradigm Consulting is a friend of mine as well as a colleague I've hired to help in my own business. I'm bringing her onto the show to talk all about hiring: Working with contractors, hiring employees, compliance issues you need to know about, growing your team, and more. Building a team isn't just about scaling your business—it can also be a way to support your lifestyle and make your life easier. After hiring, managing, and leading hundreds of employees in the small business space for over a decade, Kira began helping other women with remote teams prepare for growth and team support. Paradigm People Operations Consulting is on a mission to empower women to lead lean teams while building authentic relationships and staying compliant along the way. She believes female business owners can impact not only the lives of their teams, but the landscape of work for all women, creating a more equal playing field and earning more women a seat at the table once and for all.

In the beginning, it may look like you're saving money by hiring a contractor. But over time, contractors cost way more than employees. There's a mindset that hiring a contractor will save money. That's not the case in most situations. Small businesses may feel that contractors are the best solution, but it's a temporary one at best. And if done incorrectly, can cost you lots of money if the IRS comes knocking. Just ask Microsoft! Today I'm talking about building your team with little to no contractors and why it's a smart move to focus on hiring in-house employees.

You might be getting ready to hire, you might even have some contractors or employees working for you. Wherever you are in that process, you'll want to start laying the groundwork for this now and not just when you need it. It's important that you get it right—a wrong move can really land you in legal hot water. We'll talk about the difference between an independent contractor and an employee legally, how some of the different states define them, and the steps to find and hire an independent contractor who will stick with you. In this episode, you'll hear… 09:20 - Using the Common-Law Test to determine whether someone is an independent contractor or employee 16:27 - The ABC Test and how that is used 22:41 - How to hire a contractor 28:28 - What work for hire is 30:39 - My biggest tip for onboarding A special thank you to Linda Camacho for leaving a review on Apple Podcasts!

Have you ever hired a contractor that didn't finish the job? Here's what you did wrong and what to do next time, to avoid that. This is how to get contractors to finish the job.

Get ready to laugh and be educated on some seemingly confusing topics with today's guest, Kira La Forgia.

In this day and age when qualified contractors that actually have availability and can offer a fair rate is increasingly hard to come by, the decision about whether to DIY or hire out your next rehab or renovation project has become all-the-more important.  It's never black and white, though, since many factors go into your decision-making process, including but not limited to the scope of the project, your budget, preferred timeframe, personal experience and schedule, availability of licensed contractors in your area at any given time, and more.In this episode, I delve into my own recently completed basement DIY project in Bayonne, NJ, as well as another basement project we finished recently in the Catskills, where we decided to hire out the work to a trusted contractor.  I go into a lot of detail and provide a transparent account my experience, takeaways, and thought process, in the hopes that it will help you analyze and decide on your next project.  I hope that you find it useful,  and if you do, please take a minute to rate it, share it with others in your sphere, and to leave a review on Apple Podcasts.  You can follow my real estate adventures on Instagram @Max.Vishnev and you can email me at max.vishnev@compass.com.Thanks for tuning in!Theme music excerpted from:Feelin Good by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3744-feelin-goodLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

In this episode Martin Perdomo "The Elite Strategist" share the six things to consider when hiring a contractor do rehab work on your property.  Martin states that one of the most important things to consider is making sure that the contractor you decide to work with is credible. One of the ways to do that is to talk to other investors and find out if the company you are considering has done what they said they were going to do and kept up with their end of the contract. Secondly Martin says they must know how to price themselves to work with Real estate investors. A contractor needs to know when beginning a relationship with an investor that an investor is not a retail buyer and therefor they must provide an investor better pricing.Third Martin shares that they must also be able to give you quality work. He shares some of the strategies frequently used by him and his team to ensure the contractor does quality work.Listen to the full episode and get all of the other strategies Martin shares on how to identify good contractors.To Reach Martin Perdomo "The Elite Strategist"martin@premierridgecapital.comIf you want to learn more on how to invest passively in Multifamily Real Estate visit our website  https://stroudsburgrei.com/partners/connect with us on social media Instagram https://www.instagram.com/elitestrategist/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/theelitestrategist Like and subscribe to our YouTube Channel  Martin Perdomo "The Elite Strategist"Check out our online course and learn How to wholesale Real Estate @ https://real-estate-investing15.teachable.com/p/real-estate-beginner-dealsCheck our Real Estate Investors Club Website https://stroudsburgrei.comGet our Free Habit Register by texting the word  STRATEGIES to 33222Check our resources and tools for Real Estate Investors @ https://stroudsburgrei.com/resources/

When you start the hiring process it can be a challenging time with a lot to think about. There are a lot of decisions to be made about how or why you hire someone at a certain point in your business. We have talked about it in the past but today we want to talk about why it is important that you think first about how and where you will get a return on your hire rather than hiring to save time. This is because we know what hiring to save time looks like and we are in a different space to be able to talk about it. So many people only hire to save time and they should be thinking about it in a bigger way. We want to have this conversation coming from the space of how we think about it now with Boss Project and lessons we have learned, but also there are one-off hires that Emylee has done for her earring business. She hired for stuff she knew she would save a ton of time on. She also wasn’t the best one to do these tasks and if they were done, she would make money faster. So it is interesting how this question of hiring can be viewed in different scopes based on where you are at in your business. Thank you for listening!

Business is booming and you’re ready to hire help -- make sure you do it the right way! When should you hire an independent contractor and when do you need to pay someone as an employee (and what’s the difference)? Plus contracts for workers, like non-compete and NDAs. Episode highlights: What’s the difference between kinds of workers - independent contractors and employees? What could happen if you misclassify a worker as an independent contractor when they should be an employee (or vice versa)? What does it mean to be an “at will” worker? When should you use a non-compete or NDA (non-disclosure) agreement? What forms do you have to fill out when hiring workers? KEY TAKEAWAY: You could open yourself up to major fines and penalties if you misclassify a worker as an independent contractor when they should be an employee, so it’s essential to look at all the factors and make sure you expand your team the right way, and consult an expert if you’re not sure.
