What if misclassifying your team could cost you thousands in back taxes, penalties, and missed benefits? Most business owners don't realize how risky it can be to pay someone as a contractor when they really should be an employee. In this episode, Danielle Hayden, reformed corporate CFO and CEO of Kickstart Accounting, Inc., simplifies the IRS classification rules into a 3-step framework that helps you confidently decide whether your next hire or current team should be a contractor or employee, and when it might be time to make a change. Key Takeaways: Know the 3 Keys of Classification: These are the factors the IRS uses to determine if someone should be classified as an employee or contractor. Behavioral Control – Who decides how and when the work gets done? Financial Control – Who provides the equipment and sets the pay rate? Relationship – Is this a short-term project or an ongoing partnership? A Signed Contract Doesn't Override Your Day-to-Day Working Relationship: If you control how, when, and with what tools someone works, they're likely an employee, no matter what the contract says. Your Team Structure Will Evolve as Your Business Grows: It's normal to start with contractors and transition to employees as you establish systems, brand standards, and long-term goals. Don't Forget the Tax Implications: Contractors complete a W9 and handle their own taxes (including the employer portion). Employees go on payroll, and you, the business owner, take on that responsibility. Trust Your Gut and Your "Auditor Test": If you couldn't confidently explain to an auditor why someone is a contractor, it's probably time to make them an employee. Topics Discussed: (00:00) Intro: The Costly Risks of Misclassifying Your Team + The 3 Key Factors the IRS Uses (02:28) Step 1: Behavioral Control – Who's in Charge of the How and When? (02:56) Step 2: Financial Control – Who Sets the Pay and Provides the Tools? (03:24) Step 3: Relationship – Short-Term Project or Long-Term Partnership? (04:13) Why a Signed Agreement Isn't Enough If You're Relationship Says Otherwise (04:44) Trusting Your Gut: The "Auditor Test" for Classification Decisions (05:14) How Your Hiring Strategy Evolves as Your Business Grows (08:13) Tax Implications: W9s, 1099s, and Who's Responsible for What (09:58) Resources on Hiring and Payroll for Business Owners from Kickstart Accounting, Inc.

The Detroit Tigers are gearing up to make moves in the 2025-26 offseason as the general manager meetings get underway in Las Vegas. On "Days of Roar," Evan Petzold and Chris Brown break down whether Gleyber Torres will accept or decline the qualifying offer, the biggest needs to improve the roster, the shopping list in free agency and the projected payroll, including how much money the Tigers could spend. Later, former MLB general manager Jim Duquette joins the show to discuss the biggest story in baseball: Tarik Skubal. What should the Tigers do: extend him, trade him, keep him? Duquette offers insight into dealing with agent Scott Boras, Skubal's potential free-agent value, Jack Flaherty's decision to accept his $20 million player option, Torres' qualifying offer and the Alex Bregman saga. Evan and Chris also look ahead to the 2026 season, picking three pitchers and three position players they're most confident in — and the three pitchers and three position players they're least confident in.

Join us for a special program that goes inside Washington's murky foreign lobbying industry and reveals the world of the politically connected and powerful Americans who get rich working on behalf of brutal dictators, corrupt oligarchs, and global arms dealers. New York Times investigative reporter Kenneth P. Vogel has used exclusive sources, thousands of documents, and on-the-ground reporting to reveal the people, places, and deals involved in this usually unseen billion-dollar industry. It's a world of big money, fast cars, pricey cigars and flashy watches. The business of currying favor and influencing U.S. foreign policy on behalf of foreign powers is nothing new, though lately it has attracted more controversy and attention due to some of the outsized characters who rose to prominence during Donald Trump's first term in the White House. Among them is Robert Stryk, who dresses like a cowboy, failed at several businesses before bluffing his way into relationships in Washington and around the world, amassed wealth, influence, and a reputation for taking deals no one else would touch. Rudy Giuliani, once known as “America's Mayor,” found his star rising again under Trump; Giuliani leveraged his position as Trump's personal lawyer into deals with foreign interests who saw him as a direct line to the president. And then there's Hunter Biden, son of a future president and no stranger to the business, having capitalized on his father's connections since the elder Biden's days as a senator and vice president. Don't miss this conversation with Vogel, who relates these stories and more in his new book Devils' Advocates: The Hidden Story of Rudy Giuliani, Hunter Biden, and the Washington Insiders on the Payrolls of Corrupt Foreign Interests.

Mike Sanders joins Morning Movers to discuss the economic landscape heading into year-end. He talks about the Fed's rate-cut outlook and calculations the central bank takes with a perceived lack of economic data, noting that December's meeting has a 70% chance of a rate cut. Mike says we're seeing a mixed to slightly weakening labor market, citing recent ADP and Challenger Job Cuts data points as enough data for the Fed to make a decision. Later, he highlights the significance of the 4% level for the 10-year yield.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

BT & Sal dive into the "DH or Done" dilemma surrounding Pete Alonso's free agency, arguing that the Mets cannot let the star first baseman hold their crucial offseason hostage. Sal insists the Mets must offer Alonso a "perfect" deal—a long-term contract (he suggests 5 years, $150M) only if he agrees to transition immediately to a Designated Hitter role to improve the team's defense. Tierney agrees he needs to be an affordable DH, but suspects Alonso's pride in playing first base will lead him to walk away for less money elsewhere. They both conclude that if Alonso and his agent, Scott Boras, drag the process out or refuse the DH mandate, the Mets must move on immediately to aggressively build a World Series-caliber roster

How to Automate Payroll Review and Prevent Costly Mistakes: Insights from Yuval Brot, CEO of CeleryPayroll is one of the most complex and error-prone functions in any business, yet it's critical to get it right every time. In this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge sits down with Yuval Brot, Co-Founder and CEO of Celery, to explore how automation is reshaping payroll management. Yuval discusses how Celery helps organizations detect payroll errors before they happen, improving accuracy, compliance, and financial efficiency for teams of all sizes.The Future of Payroll: Why Automation MattersYuval explains that manual payroll review processes are highly inefficient and often lead to costly mistakes. As businesses grow, the sheer volume of data—from hourly time entries to overtime calculations—makes manual review nearly impossible to manage effectively. Payroll errors not only drain revenue but also damage employee trust and morale, making accuracy a critical part of organizational health.Celery's automation technology scans payroll data in seconds, flagging potential issues such as duplicate payments, incorrect tax calculations, or inconsistencies in hours worked. Instead of reviewing every entry, HR and finance teams can focus on the exceptions that matter most. This dramatically reduces time spent on reviews while improving compliance and peace of mind.Beyond efficiency, Yuval highlights the human side of payroll automation. When payroll runs smoothly, employees get paid correctly and on time, and leaders can focus on strategic growth rather than damage control. Automation isn't just about technology—it's about creating trust, stability, and long-term financial sustainability across the organization.About Yuval BrotYuval Brot is the Co-Founder and CEO of Celery, a financial technology company dedicated to transforming how businesses manage payroll review and compliance.
