Are you aware of an employer misclassifying its employees?
Worker misclassification occurs when an employer improperly classifies a worker as an independent contractor instead of an employee. Misclassification affects injured workers, unemployment taxes, workers’ compensation insurance premiums, unemployment benefits, labor laws, and much more.

For additional information regarding employer misclassification, contact Department of Taxation at https://www.tax.virginia.gov/worker-misclassification.
