As a New York small business owner and employer, one of the most important things you must understand is the difference between your actual employees that you hire and the independent contractors you engage to do various pieces of work for you.
Independent medical exams and your injured employee
Do you know how an Independent Medical Exam (IME) can affect your employee's workers' compensation claim? If you are a self-insured small-business owner, you have a right to request that an injured employee is examined by a board-certified doctor of your choosing for a second opinion.
Misclassification can lead to workers' compensation issues
Workers' compensation insurance premiums depend on employee classifications and payroll.
