Foundations of HR & Employment Law
Employment relationship types
Labels that determine whether a worker is legally an employee, an independent contractor, or another category, with different rights, taxes, and obligations.
"I need to hire someone quickly, but I don't want our company stuck with unexpected payroll taxes or legal exposure."
Employment relationship types classify workers by how much control, economic dependence, and integration they have with the hiring organization, which determines legal obligations like payroll taxes, benefits, and liability.
