July’s DO IT NOW! Webinar Is A Must For Illinois Employers With Freelancers

Before you leave for your summer vacation, be sure your business complies with the new Illinois laws regulating freelancers and is prepared for new risks the law poses to even employers in compliance.  

In just fifteen minutes we can get you started for free, On July 30, 2024, at 12:00 pm CT, we’re hosting our third in a series of “DO IT NOW!” webinars. 

The third session will focus on the Illinois Freelance Workers Protection Act (IFWPA). 

 IFWPA went into effect July 1 and raises the stakes for employers who use freelancers 

 This brief session will explain the new written contract and pay requirements covering freelance engagements, and how freelancers can sue violators to collect double the amount promised for their work plus their attorney fees. 

We will lay out practical actions to take NOW to comply with the Act. 

We will also explain how the law will increase pressure on even compliant businesses to convert freelancers into W-2 employees, in the form of government audits, civil fines, and levies for unpaid payroll taxes.    

 Of course, you’ll have questions. This is complex stuff. One of our attorneys will be available during our brief presentation to take your questions.
