On Thursday, 6/20/13, at 4 PM, I’ll be presenting my employee vs. independent contractor employee classification seminar. This will be an open discussion of the differences between 1099 & W-2 classifications, why this has become such a huge legal issue (hint: the post 2008 economy), the monetary penalties & other problems incurred due to misclassification & how to deal with enforcement agencies & attorneys.

It’s sponsored by the Skokie Chamber of Commerce, National Able Network, Business & Career Services, Inc. of Illinois, the Illinois Department of Employment Security & Illinois WorkNet Centers. This a free presentation that’s open to the public. It’s at the employer & job fair taking place at Niles West High School, 5701 W. Oakton Street, Skokie, IL. The job fair runs from 10 AM – 4 PM.  A partial list of employers follows the logos below (I have no idea why the Skokie Chamber logo is blurry!).  For more information contact:
