Individual Assignment: Legal and Tax Issues in Hiring Employees

 

Purpose of Assignment

 

Corporations hire dedicated HR professionals and labor attorneys to help them stay in compliance with labor authorities. A misunderstanding of the labor requirements or an unintentional error could cost an organization a significant amount in damages. While intrapreneurs may have a better understanding of legal and tax issues in hiring employees because there’s an HR team on staff, entrepreneurs and social entrepreneurs are not automatically inclined to think of these issues. This assignment provides students an opportunity to demonstrate their understanding of how legal and tax issues in hiring employees impacts intrapreneurs, social entrepreneurs, and entrepreneurs. Students must use their critical thinking skills to evaluate the issue’s impact to both the entrepreneur and the employee.

 

For example, while employers are normally not liable for the payroll withholding of agents who are independent contractors, and the independent contractors are able to claim certain business expenses which may help to lower their tax obligation; misclassifying employees as independent contractors could cost an employer retroactive payroll taxes and penalties, as well as additional attorney fees. On the other hand, independent contractors who are actually employees may now be faced with tax issues of their own and denied certain business tax deductions. Having an understanding of the issues in hiring employees will give students the advantage of insight and prepare them to address these issues head on as effective leaders and innovators in the community.
