Business Alert – Mass. Attorney General to Enforce Independent Contractor Law

Recently, the Massachusetts Attorney General (AG) released a draft Advisory which provides further clarification on their interpretation of the state’s independent contractor law, and makes it clear that they will be more aggressive in their enforcement of the law.

If your business uses independent contractors in Massachusetts, we strongly encourage you to determine if you are properly classifying these individuals and if your business is not classifying them properly, to assess your risks.

Coleman & Gagnon has prepared a Business Client Advisory which includes Common Questions/Practical Answers regarding the independent contractor law and the AG’s Advisory. This Business Client Advisory, together with the AG’s Advisory and a Massachusetts Department of Revenue TIR, are available at our website at the following link:
