1099 vs. Employee? What Construction Employers Must Know

In this Law Call segment, the attorneys break down a common issue in the construction industry—when a worker is truly an independent contractor versus an employee. They explain why proper work authorization, Form I-9 compliance, and use of the E-Verify system are critical. The discussion also highlights the “control test” and how misclassification can create serious legal risks. Just as important, they stress the need to keep detailed records, especially in immigration-related matters.
