Members of the media are invited to attend or cover a free NJBIA webinar for businesses to understand new worker classification rules recently implemented by the Sherrill administration.

The webinar will take place at 12 noon on Friday, Oct. 23.

The event will feature Alexa C. Salcito, Partner at Connell Foley LLP, Aaron Balken, J.D., Principal, State and Local Tax at Withum, along with NJBIA Policy Analyst Jack Kelly.

This webinar addresses the New Jersey Department of Labor’s Oct. 1 implementation of the nation’s strictest interpretation of the ABC test.

That test determines whether a worker is an employee or independent contractor.

Scheduled topics will include:

• How New Jersey’s ABC Test Applies

• Legal, tax, and payroll implications of worker classification

• Common misclassification risks and steps to reduce exposure

• What businesses should review in their contracts, documentation, and working arrangements

“We look forward to having our experts explain the rules from legal and tax perspectives, discuss the risks of misclassification, and outline steps businesses can take to review their contractor relationships and comply,” said NJBIA President and CEO Michele Siekerka.
