I’ll be presenting an hour to 90-minute long seminar on the employee versus independent contractor classifications.  Attendees will learn about the laws affecting employee classification, & how companies can avoid simple mistakes & litigation.  My presentation runs from 2PM until about 3 or 3:30PM.   Thanks to Mohammed Faheem & Debra Lawrence of Illinois workNet Centers of Northern Cook County, http://ah.worknetncc.com, for setting this up.

The Business Event takes place on August 25th, 2011, from 1PM-7PM. at the Holiday Inn Chicago North Shore in Skokie.  The event will feature 100 vendor tables, 30 employers, breakout sessions, guest speakers, a mentoring program for job seekers and business owners, a VIP reception, and up to 2,500 attendees.

Only a VIP reception featuring U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D-9, Illinois Lt. Governor Sheila Simon, U.S. Rep. Robert Dold, R-10, Better Business Bureau President Steve Bernas and Crain’s Chicago Business Publisher David Snyder costs money to attend.
