The Washington Department of Revenue is the state agency responsible for administering and enforcing tax laws in the state of Washington. They work to ensure compliance with state tax regulations and provide resources and support to taxpayers to help them understand and fulfill their tax obligations.
When it comes to classifying workers, there’s more than meets the eye. Beyond the familiar categories of employees and independent contractors, there’s a third type you need to know: statutory employees.
These workers are unique because they’re technically considered independent contractors, but certain laws require you to treat them as employees for tax purposes. Understanding who qualifies as a statutory employee is essential for maintaining compliance and avoiding legal headaches.
Building an HR department from scratch can feel overwhelming, especially after leaving a PEO. Complicating matters, every company has its own unique set of challenges—from payroll processes and hiring tools to compliance practices and tech. Needless to say, knowing how to create a strong HR foundation is key to moving forward with confidence.
Today, we’re discussing what matters most when designing an effective HR function. Remember, as you transition out of a PEO, you’re going to need a detailed gameplan, one that helps you make smart decisions about policies, technology, onboarding, and more, ensuring you meet every HR need, no matter your company’s size or lifecycle stage. And as always, Mosey is here to lead the way. So let’s get started.

Consider the following brain-teaser: A Wisconsin-based DTC pickle company grows cucumbers outside of Milwaukee, pickles them on site, and ships them to individual consumers all over the country. As the business grows, it retains the help of a New Jersey-based marketing professional and a fulfillment consultant in Michigan. Where does this business owe state taxes? In Wisconsin only? In Wisconsin, Michigan, and New Jersey? In every state where a consumer buys a pickle?
