Most staffing agencies classify the workers they send to clients as employees. However, some online platforms that use phone apps to place certain health care workers in hospitals and other health care facilities are classifying the workers as independent contractors. This could be a red flag.

In the latest installment, ASA senior counsel Ed Lenz discusses the risks involved in misclassifying workers as independent contractors and explains how to protect your business.
