The Pros and Cons of Hiring Independent Contractors in an Era of Regulatory Change
Abstract
In today’s work-life balance driven culture, modern companies know that attracting great talent means embracing a variety of work styles and employment relationships. Along with that understanding is the knowledge that a traditional employee relationship is not always the best fit for a company’s needs from either a cost or workforce management perspective.

This is where independent contractors fit the bill.
