ARTICLE: 

Employees and independent contractors are different, so it is important for employers to be clear about the difference between the two. This will help them determine what to do when hiring people to help, and it will also affect how they withhold taxes to avoid legal trouble. 

Independent Contractors
Independent contractors have their own employees and usually have their own business name. They typically have a separate checking account for business, and they advertise their own business services. When work is completed, they normally send an invoice or have an agreement for payment. Independent contractors have their own hours, tools and clients. They keep their own business records as well. 

Employees
Employees are hired by a company to work for only that employer unless otherwise agreed. For example, some full-time employees may have a part-time weekend job elsewhere that does not interfere with their commitment to their full-time employer. Employees’ duties and assignments are controlled by the employer or supervisors, and they are provided with training from the employer for the tasks they need to complete.  

Small businesses often depend on independent contractors as workers. For small business owners, there are several benefits to using this approach. They do not have to spend as much for labor costs, their liabilities are reduced considerably and this gives business owners more flexibility for firing or hiring. 

Classification Considerations
Classifying an individual incorrectly as an independent contractor may have several legal consequences that are costly. If an independent contractor meets the definition of an employee, the business owner may have to reimburse that person for wages and overtime that would normally have been paid to them by the Fair Labor Standards Act. The business owner may also have to provide health insurance, retirement or other benefits normally offered to regular employees. Paying back taxes and other penalties would also be necessary, and workers’ compensation would have to be paid to any injured individuals who met the criteria for being employees instead of independent contractors. 

Tax Considerations
The Internal Revenue Service provides information on their site for companies hiring independent contractors and employees. This information is to teach them about tax implications of various scenarios. Site visitors can fill out forms to request that the IRS reviews their workers’ statuses and to provide additional resources. There are no one-size-fits-all tests to determine if a worker is an employee or independent contractor. However, the following considerations are useful in helping classify them: 

– The permanency of the work relationship. 
– The extent to which services provided are an integral part of the employer’s business. 
– The amount of initiative in market competition determining the worker’s success. 
– The worker’s investment in equipment and facilities. 
– The worker’s opportunities for loss and profit. 
– The degree of independent business operation and organization. 
– The degree of control by the business owner. 

Whether a person is considered an employee or an independent contractor will depend on the business owner’s amount of control over the workload and the individual. For more information about this topic and how to classify workers correctly or to make sure they are properly insured, contact Gary Wallach at 914-806-5853.

Article:

No company owner wants to undergo a workers’ compensation audit, but they are a fact of life if you run a business and have employees.

Unfortunately, many audits don’t go smoothly and sometimes your insurer may make mistakes. Missouri-based Workers’ Compensation Consultants, which helps employers through the workers’ comp audit process, recently listed the 10 most common audit mistakes that insurance companies make.

The list highlights a common problem and how you can detect the mistakes to avoid being stuck with a massive audit bill. Insurance companies allow you to review the audit with your broker. If you notice that you have received an audit bill that is obviously overstated, you should contact us.

Here are the things to look for when reviewing an audit by your insurance company:

Wrong class code – Misapplication of job classifications occurs in many workers’ comp audits. With hundreds of job classes to choose from, mistakes can happen. Talk to us and review your old policies to see if any of your class codes have changed.

X-Mod is changed – After your insurer finishes the audit, it will use the information to calculate your premium. When that happens, it has to include your X-Mod to get the right rate. But sometimes the insurer may use an incorrect X-Mod. Check carefully.

Subcontractors are counted – Sometimes insurers will include subcontractors as employees, which results in a new audit bill to account for the additional “employees.” But if they are genuine subcontractors, they should not be counted. Often, uninsured contractors will be included as employees. Make sure to use insured contractors only.

Disappearing credits – Most policies will have some sort of premium credits or other modifiers. Sometimes during audits, the insurer will remove them when recalculating the premium they think you owe. Watch out for missing credits and other modifiers if you get an audit bill, like:

• Premium discount
• Schedule credits
• Deductible credits
• State-specific credits

Audit worksheets missing – If the auditor fails to provide you with audit worksheets, which are used to compile your payroll and other audit information, you should ask to check their work. They will provide you with the information you need to carry out such a check.

Your rates changed – The rates you are charged at the beginning of your policy period must remain the same for the entire policy period. If your base rates have changed, the insurer may have made a mistake.

Separation of payroll – Depending on your industry, you may or may not be able to split your employees’ payroll between job classifications (like cabinet installers and sheetrock hangers). This is a pinch point when errors can occur. If the auditor says you are not allowed to split job classifications even though you have in the past, your audit may be in error.

Unexpected large premium due – If you get a significant bill for your insurance company after your audit, the auditor may have made mistakes, particularly if you know that your employment has remained relatively stable and you’ve had no significant claims, if any. If it seems out of whack, call us. 

Payroll data doesn’t match – If there is a discrepancy between your payroll data and what you see on the audit, a mistake may have been made. Try to match the payroll on the audit with that generated from your accountant. If the insurer made a mistake, you could end up paying for phantom payroll numbers.

No physical audit – There are three types of audits:

• Mail audit
• Phone audit, and
• Physical audit

The mail and phone audits are prone to errors since neither you nor your staff likely have any experience in premium auditing. If you have a big bill after a mail or phone audit, mistakes could have been made.

Workers’ Compensation is a compromise between employers and employees. Employers cover injured employees’ medical costs and lost wages. They do this even if they were not at fault. Employees lose the right to sue their employers over injuries.

State laws require most employers to buy Workers’ Compensation insurance. Employers may see this as money unnecessarily spent. They must pay it even if no injuries occur in their workplaces. Consequently, a minority of them try to cheat the system. Things do not end well for these employers.

Some try to get away with not buying insurance.

• A Florida married couple owned and operated four supermarkets. One of them went without insurance for 10 years. They were arrested for this and other fraudulent transactions. Authorities estimated the amount of their fraud at $35 million.
• The owner of a Florida employee leasing company charged his clients millions of dollars for insurance premiums. However, his  policy did not exist. The fraud left 33,000 workers unprotected. His jail sentence was 14 years.
• Two employees of a Vermont home improvement contractor who skipped insurance got hurt. He was forced to cover $80,000 in medical bills and serve 30 days in prison.

More commonly, employers buy insurance but give their insurers false information. A moving services company in California took this to an extreme.

• They under-reported payroll to the State Compensation Insurance Fund.
• They pressured employees to lie about how they were injured. This made the company’s loss record would look good.
• They failed to pay premiums due, resulting in policy cancellations.

The owner pled guilty to multiple felony counts, received a 16-month jail sentence and was ordered to pay $2.385 million in restitution. His wife also pled guilty, received three years’ probation and had to pay a fine plus $470,000 in restitution.

A common tactic is to misclassify employees.

• A Connecticut construction company told its insurer that it had one employee who did carpentry work. When the insurer audited the company’s books, it found that it had several employees who performed roofing work. The premium jumped from $750 to $51,000. The policy subsequently cancelled for non-payment of premium. Two months after cancellation, an employee suffered serious injuries while doing roofing work. The insurer refused to pay for the claim. The employer sued, but two courts ruled against him.
• A New York tree surgeon was charged with a felony after falsely reporting that an injured worker was an independent contractor and not an employee.

Some employers also try to pass off false evidence of coverage. The owner of an Ohio excavating contractor created false certificates of insurance and submitted them with bids to help him get jobs. In addition, he misclassified employees as independent contractors. He got six months in prison, three years of monitoring, and had to pay restitution.

Employers who try to cheat the Workers’ Compensation system rob their employees of the benefits to which they are entitled. They also gain an unfair advantage over their law-abiding competitors. Employers who decide to play this game should understand that they will eventually lose.

The same gadgets and technology that have made life more convenient and help people pass the time, unfortunately can leave you and your family members exposed to a variety of cyber-related attacks.

Online crime is rising fast and anyone that uses the internet, e-mail or smartphone apps risks exposing themselves and their personal data. This risk even extends to your kids downloading apps on their tablets.

Because of this growing threat, some insurance companies have started including certain cyber-specific coverages in their homeowner’s policies, or as a rider. Some of the coverages that homeowner’s insurers have begun offering are:

Digital content coverage – Replaces or repairs affected electronic data property that has been compromised.

Unauthorized charge reimbursements – This coverage protects credit cards from fraudulent charges made without your approval.

Identity access management – Helps with fraud resolution if your identity has been stolen in a cyber attack.

Document recovery – Assistance with retrieving, replacing or recreating lost, stolen or destroyed legal, financial or personal identification documents.

Lawsuit protection – Coverage for allegations of unintended libel, slander, defamation or invasion of privacy.

Additional cyber protection rider

But most of the coverages in homeowner’s policies for cyber issues are not really that comprehensive. Better protection comes in the form an additional cyber protection rider (which has to be paid for separately as a rider to your homeowner’s policy).

Depending on the insurance company, these riders may include coverage for:

• Computer attack
• Home systems attack
• Cyber extortion, and
• Online fraud

Some examples of these types of coverage include:

Cyber extortion and ransomware – Provides payments and professional assistance in responding to cyber extortion demands based on a credible threat to damage, disable, deny access to or disseminate content from devices, systems or data.

Cyber financial loss – Covers online fraud that results in a direct financial loss to you.

Cyber-bullying – Assistance in dealing with online harassment that results in wrongful termination, wrongful discipline from school or debilitating emotional distress.

Cyber disruption – Support for dealing with cyber attacks that prevent you from accessing your home, or attacks that interrupt a small business you run from home.

Cyber breach of privacy – Assistance dealing with theft, loss or unauthorized access to personal data from a cyber attack that results in defamation of character or puts the security of your family and home at risk.

Compromised or destroyed data – Pays to recover data and restore systems that have been lost or damaged due to a cyber attack. This would include attacks involving malware or unauthorized use of owned or leased computers, mobile devices and connected home devices.

Here are some scenarios that a cyber protection rider may cover:

Scenario 1 – Your son receives an e-mail and opens an attached file or clicks on a link that contains a virus that infects the computer, rendering it unusable. You have to hire professional to reformat the hard drive, reinstall the operating system and restore data from the latest back-up. The services cost $900.
Outcome: The professional’s charge is covered by your policy.

Scenario 2 – You receive a pop-up message on your computer after you are unable to access any of your files. The message tells you that all of your data has been locked and encrypted and the only way to unlock them is to pay a $1,500 ransom to receive the decryption code. Further, if you don’t pay promptly, the ransom price will increase by $500 a week and after three weeks the code will be destroyed, and your files will be permanently deleted.

Outcome: The insurer determines the threat is real and agrees to reimburse you for paying the ransom.

As each year arrives, millions of Americans plan or hope to increase their income and save more money. The National Crime Prevention Council wants to help Americans work toward those goals and protect the financial security of their future. To accomplish this, they offer a variety of tools for protection against investment fraud and identity theft. The tools are available at NCPC.org, and site visitors will also find a variety of helpful publications with tips for protecting themselves against identity theft, mortgage fraud and investment fraud.

According to the NCPC, about 17.6 million Americans were victims of identity theft in 2014. As the year ends and the tax season approaches, there are more occurrences of identity theft. Experts warn Americans to take extra steps to protect themselves during that time especially. However, it is important to make identity theft prevention a regular habit. Identity thieves have several ways to steal information. They may rummage through garbage cans, hack into Internet-based financial accounts or use electronic devices to steal credit card numbers. When they have an individual’s location information, they may even file a change of address form to receive that person’s mail and steal financial information.

The NCPC offers the following tips for preventing identity theft:

• Never provide a Social Security number over the Internet or phone.
• Memorize all passwords, and never store passwords on a computer.
• When buying items online, always use a credit card for the benefit of being able to dispute bad transactions.
• Do not use an ATM when someone is within close range.
• Beware of sites that offer free giveaways and prizes, and do not enter financial information on such sites.
• Take advantage of developer-based browser add-ons and antivirus software to enhance Internet security.
• Tell children to avoid giving out their address, phone number or Internet-based contact information.
• Do not let children plan to meet any friends from Internet sites or chat rooms.
• Avoid posting public photos of family members, a home, a vehicle or other identifying information on the Internet.
• Be sure that Internet access at a child’s school is controlled by teachers or other designated responsible adults.

The NCPC offers additional tips, information and statistics on their site. If all Americans work together to prevent identity theft, millions of incidents can be prevented. Another important step for adults to take is to check their credit history every year. Each American adult is entitled to a free credit report copy, which is obtained at AnnualCreditReport.com. This is the only site approved by federal authorities for obtaining a free copy. View the report to look for any account, address and employment discrepancies, and dispute them if there are any. Suspicious accounts may be a sign that someone has stolen personal information and is misappropriating it.

Also, be aware of any odd-looking devices on ATMs, gas pumps and other places where cards are swiped. Thieves place logging devices that detach from these places. If a piece detaches or looks suspicious, report it to the establishment immediately. To learn more about staying safe from identity theft and the impact of identity theft, discuss concerns with an agent.

How does safety pay dividends to the business owner? Time and resources spent on developing a culture of safety repays the business in the long run. Safety cultures rely on reducing the number of workers compensation claims, in return, the odds of a disastrous claim are reduced.

Business owners with workers’ compensation experience modifications above 1.25 need to review their safety policies with professionals. It is possible one year or even one claim causes this situation; but it should not be ignored. Discover and repair the root cause.

A 1.01 to 1.25 modification indicates worse than average experience. State rates can be less than adequate for a short period of time. The actuarial or mathematical calculations just incorrectly reflect the average expected claims. Slightly elevated modifications may be caused by these issues; however, review your losses by department in these cases and see if a problem area exists.

For slightly elevated modifications, review the safety program and types of losses. Seek out a professional risk manager for help if needed. Look for patterns in the losses, and consider changes in safety equipment or procedures to reduce problem issues.

Proactively nurturing a safety culture will pay long-term dividends. Experience modifications will decrease with positive results. How?

Each state calculates workers’ compensation experience modifications independently. Many states do utilize the services of the National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI) to gather data and promulgate base rates and experience modifications; but each state regulates its own workers’ compensation system.

Workers’ compensation experience rating predicts future behavior by analyzing past performance. It is a consequence of loss control performance, neither a reward for no losses nor a punishment for too many claims.

The generic formula for experience modifications follows some rules:

Just as payrolls are the basis for the standard premium, they form the basis for expected claims. Payroll is multiplied by an average claim factor to produce total expected claims.A discount factor is then applied to predict the potential severity of the claims.The product of this equation is expected losses.Actual medical only (MO) claims combine and report as a number of claims/total amount. Some states designate the MO claims as primary (maximum average) and excess, and then apply a discount rate to one or both of these amounts.Most states set a limit on the value of any one claim, and then discount large claims on a sliding scale.This historical claim experience is divided by expected losses. That quotient is the experience modification.

The insurance industry spends millions of dollars to find ways to predict the future. Loss analysts discovered one important fact: the best predictor of future claims is the frequency with which companies suffer losses in the past.

Frequency reflects the number of claims per employee, usually expressed as claims per payroll unit ($100), claims per year, or claims per time unit. Frequency, however, more importantly, reflects the safety culture of the business.

If the frequency of claims is predictable, how about the severity of an individual loss? No, severity, the magnitude of the loss, is not predictable. With greater frequency, however, comes greater odds that a severe claim will occur.

1. Your liability and workers compensation auditors work for your insurance company, not you!  There’s a lot they aren’t telling you which can cost thousands, tens of thousands of dollars. 

2. Is your liability policy preventing you from getting jobs?  Lots of contractors are unaware of how bad their liability policy’s are.  There are brokers selling these policies and in our opinion they are doing an incredible disservice to the construction industry.  How many of you work with general contractors, owners?  Are they asking you to sign contracts?  Do you know if your policy covers what they require in their contract?  Let’s face it most insurance companies do not want to pay claims and their policies are designed to do just that.  Is your policy one of the real lousy ones?   

3. Quite a few New York contractors have liability policies that are inexpensive but their insurance company has a very low financial rating, Labor Law exclusions, no contractual liability, the company is Black Listed.  Then there is the other extreme, liability policy’s that have exclusions acceptable to customers but are outrageously expensive.   How would you like a liability policy that has limited exclusions and good pricing?  With 50 companies we think we can find you one.   

4. It is our opinion there are workers compensation companies that insure a lot of contractors and they do everything possible to charge you as much as they can.   Instead of doing what is in the customer’s best interest they do what is in their best interest. We have better options for you.

5. Why should a customer dislike the company they’re with?  Why when they need help they get tortured?  When they call they don’t get a return call?  When they have a problem no one seems to want to help?   It shouldn’t be this way right? 

6. You really are not going to like hearing this!  Most agency people are limited in what they know (they are so poorly trained it’s a disgrace).  They do not know the ins and outs of the liability or the worker’s compensation system.  They do not know about special credits, rating structures, experience modification factors, payroll rules, how to properly classify payrolls, etc.  And this goes for all areas of coverage: Liability, Umbrella Liability, Business Auto, Bonds, Group Health, etc. 

7. Most insurance agency customer service people are paper pushers.  They have so much work they do not have time to properly check your liability and worker’s compensation policies.  Yes they are pleasant but they miss a lot of what it takes to properly service your account.                                                                                                                                                    

8. BEWARE!!!  If you have your workers compensation through a state or assigned risk program and you operate in other states you are exposed to a HUGE financial liability which may NOT be covered!   Most of you are not aware of this liability but one claim and you can be knocked out of business!   If you are in a state or assigned risk program and operate outside your state we STRONGLY RECOMMEND you look into this matter. 

How We Can Help You

1. For contractors we have 50 liability insurance and 12 workers compensation companies to choose from.  More options mean better pricing and coverage!               

 2.  Regarding General Liability and Umbrella Liability we have companies that have less restrictive exclusions than others.   It is so critical you deal with an insurance broker who is a specialist, who understands the exclusions rather than a generalist.  Believe us most agencies even though they know more than you they still do not know what they’re doing.  We do not like to knock others but a lot of brokers and customer service personnel do not know what they are doing.         

3. How would you like to get away from annual workers compensation audits?  Would you like to set up your policy from the start so you don’t overpay?   How about not owing large additional amounts at the end of your policy period?      

4. Two of our companies allow you to take back control of payroll reporting.  So many contractors, on audit, are overpaying thousands, tens of thousands of dollars because their company is keeping important information from them.   From the beginning, we eliminate this problem.                                                                               

5. Having cash flow problems?  One new customer whose premium was $49,100 only needed $427 to bind coverage.  His incumbent company was requiring a renewal deposit in excess of $8,000.

6. We DO NOT charge 10% service fees or separate $500 to $2,500 policy fees.  How agencies come up with these fees is baffling.  Actually it’s not.  It’s called greed.  We are that “Diamond in the Rough!”  We don’t do this to our customers (unless we have to insure you through NYS program…they do not pay us a commission.)    

7. We have been in the insurance business since 1981.  We offer boutique service. We are specialists, experts and you personally will be dealing with the president who has 38 years experience.

We would like to start by asking if you had a tax problem, the IRS was claiming you owe $275,000, without help, would you talk to them or hire a tax specialist?  What if you needed brain surgery?  Are you going to use an internist or a brain specialist?  Lastly, divorce.  Going to use a local generalist attorney who handles 1 divorce a year or a specialist who handles 100?

Get my point!  Cutting corners by using inexperienced people may appear saving you money but in the end costs hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands more!

Like taxes, medicine and legal issues, Workers Compensation has a manual that’s 500+ pages thick.  It’s packed with rules.  If you have not read the manual and know the ins and outs, companies whose personnel operate in factory like mode probably don’t know them and if they do probably will not explain them to you!

That is why you want to bring us into the picture!  BGES Group, a New York’s Workers’ Comp Specialist, offers EXPERT advice to New York, New Jersey and Connecticut business owners.  Companies we are GREAT at HELPING are:  Construction, Limousine, Manufacturing, Wholesale, Distributor, Office, Real Estate, anyone that owns a business in the tri-state area!

Audits – This is where so many employers get hurt!  Paying thousands, tens of thousands more than you should be!  Many insurance companies use outside firms to do their audits.  They do such volume it’s our opinion 30%+ have mistakes, especially if you are a contractor!  Every month we go back and forth with companies straightening out auditor mistakes and over charges.  We’ve encountered mistakes of up to $120,000+.  Do you think your company is going to scour your audits for mistakes?  Do you think they even know what to look for?  If you have to get your accountant involved what are they going to charge you?  In our opinion so many businesses are overpaying, they have no clue though.  Guess what, this no longer has to be the case!  BGES Group reviews client audits.  We find the mistakes, get on the phone and get our client’s audits corrected so they pay no more than they have to.  Are you a contractor?  Then you need us on your side!  Every month we find mistakes in contractor audits!   Would you like to avoid an annual audit?  We may be able to help you do that!

Has anyone told you about this financially crippling issue?  You are a contractor.  Your home office is in state A.  You get a job in State B.  Job will take three (3) months.  Two months into job your employee falls from a ladder and breaks his back.  This employee happens to live in State B so his family takes him to their local hospital.  Do you have coverage under your policy or not?  In our opinion at least 50%+ DO NOT!  Do you know why?  Do you know what kind of financial nightmare you are looking at?  Do you know how many years you could be dealing with this financial nightmare?  Do you think your employee will get legal representation?  Can you afford fighting them for 5, 10, 15+ years?

Limousine Companies.  This is a very tough class of business to insure.  We know of just a few companies offering coverage.  At least one has no financial rating.  Most are insured with one organization.  But there’s a second company we feel offers better protection.  We also feel they offer great audit, billing, customer service and rates!  Limo companies drive in many states.  It is critical to be with a company that can provide THE RIGHT protection in multiple states!   We represent this excellent company and we are guessing you are not with them.  Call 914-806-5853 we will get you a quote.

Experience Modification Factor – Do you know what an Experience Modification Factor (EMR) is?  It is an adjustment of an employer’s premium for worker’s compensation coverage based on the losses the insurer has experienced from that employer. An experience modifier of 1 would be applied for an employer that had demonstrated the actuarially expected performance. Poorer loss experience leads to a modifier greater than 1, and better experience to a modifier less than 1.  Let me ask you, do you think a factory like mode insurance company is going to check your EMR?  Do you think the front line customer service personnel even know where to start?  Do you know what an EMR of 1.40 does to your cost?   How it prevents you from getting new business?  Do you know how to lower it?  That is another reason to turn to BGES Group for your coverage needs.

There is a Workers’ Comp manual that is 500+ pages thick.  It discusses payroll classifications, credits, EMRs, definition of payroll, the list goes on and on.  How would you like to work with one person who knows the rules and can help you save money?  Unlike accountants or other professionals we do not charge for our service!   Do you think using rules to your advantage can save you hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of dollars?  We know they can!

We are here to help!  We want to help!  Call Gary at 914-806-5853 and you get to speak to a New York expert who is knowledgeable, helpful, professional and who knows how to talk and treat people!

As attacks on businesses’ networks continue increasing at unprecedent levels, cyber risks have become the top concern among organizations of all sizes for the first time, according to a new survey.

The “Travelers Risk Index” found that 55% of executives surveyed said they worry “some” or “a great deal” about cyber risks. That’s more than they worry about medical cost inflation (54%), employee benefit costs (53%), the ability to attract and retain talent (46%) and legal liability (44%).

And the most common types of attacks, and which pose the biggest security threat to businesses, are phishing and fake e-mails. They are the hardest to combat because of the human factor involved, according to another survey, the “2019 Cyber Security Breaches Survey” published by the U.K. government.

In phishing e-mails, the cyber criminals will pose as colleagues or vendors to dupe an unsuspecting employee to hand over a password or click on a malicious link that will give them access to the company’s network.

In addition, ransomware has brought many businesses and government agencies to a standstill as the same technique is used to freeze an entire network and render it unusable until the company pays a ransom for a key to unlock the network.

As concerns about cyber threats have grown, more businesses say they are taking proactive measures to safeguard against cyber risks – even though a large percentage have not implemented preventive best practices.

The steps that companies are taking, according to the Travelers survey, are:

• Purchasing a cyber insurance policy (51% of survey participants, up from 39% in the 2018 survey the insurer conducted).
• Creating a business continuity plan in the event of a cyber attack (47%, up from 38%).
• Taking a cyber-risk assessment for themselves (49%, up from 45%).
• Taking a cyber-risk assessment for their vendors (41%, up from 37%).
• Updating computer passwords (74%, up from 71%).

The fact is that a single cyber attack can put a company out of business. Taking the threat seriously and implementing a risk management program that addresses possible exposures can help a business not only avoid an attack, but also recover from one as quickly as possible.

How to lower the chances of an attack

The insurance company Chubb recommends the following steps to reduce the chances of a cyber attack on your organization:

Identify your sensitive data – Credit card and personally identifiable information is often the target of cyber attacks.

Educate your staff – Instruct your employees about cyber attacks and how to protect the network. The most important thing for them to remember is to not to open attachments from people they don’t know or in e-mails they don’t expect. 
You should also post procedures for encrypting personal or sensitive information, and require them to change their passwords regularly.

Have security in place – You should have a web application firewall in place to protect your website, in addition to a firewall for your company’s network. If you accept credit card payments, you should have an e-commerce platform that is compliant with payment card industry data security standards Level 1.

Secure your hardware – Data breaches can be caused by physical property being stolen, too. If your servers, laptops, cell phones or other electronics are not secure and easy to steal, you are taking a big risk. Physically locking down computers and servers is a good idea.

Cyber insurance

As the cyber threat becomes more sophisticated and changes, cyber-insurance policies have evolved to meet businesses’ needs. There are many types of policies in the marketplace that are tailored for specific types of businesses. The key is getting a policy that best fits your organization and covers any eventualities that you may encounter.

Some coverages you may want to consider for inclusion in your cyber insurance are:

• Business interruption – Covers the loss of business income due a cyber attack.  
• Computer fraud – Covers theft of money, securities and other forms of tangible property through computer fraud and social engineering schemes.
• Data breach – Covers claims of failure to protect personally identifiable information and protected health information of clients.
• Property damage – Covers replacement cost of computers damaged by a cyber attack.
• Identity theft expenses – These are related to the business owner or their employees after identity theft.      
• Advertising and personal injury – Covers damage caused by defamation on website or social media.
• Transmission of virus or malicious content – Covers failure to stop the transmission of a computer virus or malicious content.
• Errors and omissions – Covers loss caused by failure to provide proper network security.

Some policies are stand-alone products, while others are endorsements to existing polices like a business owner’s policy.

The United States Department of Labor and the Internal Revenue Service have combined their efforts to help various states share resources and information that will expose worker classification violations. Employers found to be in violation could face paying back taxes, back pay to workers, missed overtime, retroactive benefits, interest, fines, staff effort charges and legal fees. With situations where there are multiple violations or willful negative intent, the penalties and fines are worse. In addition to the money a violation would cost, employers would also face the negative effects of this damaging information being made available to the public. 

The IRS has made it clear that it is not easy to classify independent contractors and employees. Every case they evaluate is different based on a wide variety of factors. To start, employers may think about whether they have control over a worker’s performance and work outcomes. This is not based on whether an employer decides to exercise control. It is a matter of whether the employer actually has the legal ability to control the workers in these areas. The IRS has a set of rules called the Common Law Rules, which cover the categories of financial control, behavioral control and relationship classifications. None of these factors are individually decisive. The entire situation must be evaluated to make an accurate determination. In addition to these evaluations, employers may take the Economic Reality test from the Department of Labor. This test is based on the Fair Labor Standards Act and includes six factors that are similar to those used by the IRS.

One of the best ways to show that a worker is not an employee but an independent contractor is to show proof of that individual’s ownership of a business. In addition to this, employers can show proof that the worker’s tasks are not an integral part of the employer’s business. Workers who are free to be hired by others or who perform freelance work are not considered employees. For every independent contractor used, businesses should keep vendor folders on file. The following paragraphs outline what information should be included in each file.

W-9 Form
Every independent contractor should complete a W-9. This is necessary for creating a 1099 tax document. If the individual does not claim exemption, employers should withhold taxes. For current tax withholding percentage information, discuss the topic with an agent. However, independent contractors should be encouraged to check the box and file their own self-employment taxes.

Invoices
Keep every invoice the contractor submits. Payment should be made based on these documents. If a worker is not an employee, he or she should not submit expense reports. Since mileage and equipment are a contractor’s business expenses, contractors should not bill for these items. Make sure all invoices match 1099 forms, which must be sent to the independent contractor after the end of the year.

Proof Of Separate Business
If an independent contractor has his or her own business, keep any items that reflect proof of this. Business stationery, advertisements, brochures, business cards or any similar items are acceptable. For contractors who have their own sites on the Internet, it is important to print copies of any online pages where services are outlined.

Written Contracts
It is important to have a written contract for every independent worker. This document should clearly state the nature of the relationship between the business and the worker. In addition to this, the project’s details should be outlined. A contract should include what the business expects from the contractor, the payment terms and any deadlines. Make sure the document is dated and signed by both parties. If a contractor has a tax identification number, this should be included. New contracts should be created for each project when the same contractor is hired for multiple projects.

Before classifying a worker as an independent contractor, it is important for a business owner to do his or her homework carefully. Employment laws today are very strict, so discuss any concerns with an agent.
