Although most employers are considered at-will, many laws are designed to protect employees from wrongful firing. As an employer, there will inevitably come a time when you need to let someone go, but it’s important to do so legally and for the right reasons.

If you’re considering establishing a limited liability company (LLC) in California, there are several key pieces of information you need to know before embarking on this journey.
This guide is tailored to offer you a clear roadmap so that you can navigate the process with confidence and ease. If you’re ready to get your entrepreneurial dreams off the ground, let’s get started.
What Is an LLC? An LLC, or limited liability company, is a popular business structure. You’re protected from liability like a corporation, and you also enjoy the simplicity that comes with a sole proprietorship. It’s a flexible option for small to medium-sized businesses, allowing owners, known as members, to benefit from both operational flexibility and reduced personal liability.
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.
