Employer misclassifications of exempt and non-exempt employees and independent contractors has become so prevalent that agencies like the Department of Labor, Internal Revenue Service, Oregon Revenue Department and the Oregon Employment Department have stepped up their enforcement efforts and are taking more affirmative actions to seek out and address the problem.  These agencies are also sharing information, which means a targeted employer may find itself facing more than one audit!  Is an audit in your future?  Do you know what to do if you become a target?  Join us for this entertaining and informative program as Jennifer Bouman-Steagall explains the current trend of these agencies, the likelihood of an audit, the misclassification danger zones, and steps you can take to be better prepared in the event one or more of these agencies sets its sights on you.

Thank you to everyone who joined us last week with State Treasurer Ted Wheeler for February's forum luncheon.
 
Treasurer Wheeler spoke about Oregon’s current economic landscape.  Governor Kitzhaber has asked the State Treasury to help formulate new economic development strategies and now the State Treasurer is ready to outline their most current findings  He also spoke about specific tools that the State Treasurer’s office has at its disposal including the Oregon Investment Fund and the Oregon Growth Account.
