Jun. 5, 2011

• Consider hiring someone in human resources specifically to track and manage the contingent workforce.


• Classify workers carefully and be sure they meet federal and state criteria for independent contractor status.

• Check the backgrounds of contingent workers as thoroughly as for regular employees.
