Worker Classification Consultation
Worker classification can be a confusing topic.
My book Paying Workers in a Homeschool Organization can help clear a lot of confusion, but perhaps you want to discuss your particular situation in a private, individual phone consultation.
I offer phone consultations to help you determine if your homeschool organization’s workers are employee or independent contractors. The phone call will be followed up with an email containing information to help you take the next steps.
My fee for this consultation is $150.
To request a consultation, please contact me. I’m happy to help and relieve any anxiety you have about this confusing topic.
