Workers can either be classified as employees or independent contractors. As an entrepreneur, getting the distinction between these two categories is absolutely important. Many entrepreneurs have found themselves on the wrong side of the law and the Internal Revenue Service due to a misclassification.

After getting the classification right, the next step is having the right contract in place that defines the working relationships. In the case of employees, you’ll have an employment contact. In the case of independent contractors, you’ll have an independent contractor agreement.
