Contractor work arrangements are popular. According to the US Government Accountability Office, about one-third of all businesses and almost 90% of Fortune 500 companies use independent contractors in some capacity. Hiring contractors can be a particularly attractive option for early-stage businesses because it allows them to leverage specialized skill sets while building their internal teams.
But contractors are very different from employees, and the two mustn’t be conflated—or hefty penalties can apply. While contractors are self-employed individuals or even incorporated business entities, employees are typically economically dependent on their employers and so are entitled to certain rights and protections under the law. For this reason, misclassifying an employee as an independent contractor is a compliance violation: It denies a worker rights to which they are otherwise entitled.
In a significant change for the labor scene of the state, the right-to-work law in Michigan is obsolete. Effective as of March 24, 2023, this move has made waves for companies throughout the state and affects workers just as much as their employers. Still, employers especially need to know the subtleties of this repeal and how it will affect their payroll compliance.
