Risk Assessments (1099s)

Protect your bottom line.

Do you rely on Independent Contractors (1099 contractors) for your hard-to-fill professional positions? Misclassification of these contractors can result in employment and tax liabilities, which can have a negative impact to your bottom line and your reputation. Manpower Professional's Risk Assessment Services effectively eliminate these concerns.

What are your risks?
According to the New York Fiscal Policy Institute, 30% of employers misclassify their employees as Independent Contractors. The resulting liabilities to the engaging company include, but are not limited to, unpaid income tax withholdings, unpaid premiums for unemployment insurance and workers' compensation, and unpaid overtime compensation.

Manpower Professional's Risk Assessment Services include a thorough audit of your 1099 contractor status to protect you from potential costs and legal concerns. Our process includes:

Identification
We partner with you in a discovery process to identify your current Independent Contractor population. We then compile all of the data required to drive the qualification process and prepare for job category validation and cost savings initiatives.

Qualification
Along with our third party diversity partner, we conduct a comprehensive qualification analysis that includes the 20-point IRS test and focuses on key factors including Behavioral Control, Financial Control and the Worker-Firm Relationship. Through this process we determine the validity of each worker's claim as an Independent Contractor.

Engagement
For individuals who are qualified as Independent Contractors, it's business as usual with significant risk reduction for you. Those who are not qualified have the opportunity to become a W-2 employee with Manpower Professional. We ensure ongoing qualification for all approved 1099 contractors with quarterly assessments.

As a provider of these specialists for many years, Manpower Professional understands the associated risks. We've built a model that delivers high-end talent, risk mitigation and proven results without the high-end costs. Learn what we can do for you.
