As some of you might know, the newly-passed bill AB 2257 has made another drastic shift to the employee classification from bill AB 5 that came into effect in January 2020. How does this affect businesses who hire, work with, or work as an independent contractor?

Business Attorney Galia Aharoni Schmidt will go over the changes and clarify any questions you have about the new bill in this workshop.

Learn about when and how you are allowed to use a contractor, intern, or volunteer; how to avoid accidentally breaking the law; and what happens if you do accidentally misclassify someone.

This is a must-see webinar for anyone who works in an industry that primarily uses independent contractors as workers, including the film and music industry, architects, and health & wellness.
