Dozens of Employers Misreport and Underpay Workers!

Posted on Feb 12, 2008

Dozens of companies in New York State have been penalized for misreporting and misclassifying workers. When a company improperly classifies a worker (i.e. calling them an independent contractor instead of an employee) that company avoids paying unemployment taxes and improperly pays lower workers' compensation premiums.

These actions hurt the worker who is underpaid or does not receive workers' compensation; they hurt other employers who must compete with these unscrupulous employers; they deny proper payments into the Sociial Security System (which can affect disability) and they hurt all New Yorkers!
