The line between independent contractors and employees has never been blurrier—or more legally risky.

Join employment law expert Kristen Shaw for a timely webinar on how to correctly classify workers in Canada and avoid misclassification liability. With enforcement intensifying and lawsuits on the rise, HR professionals must understand how courts and regulators are assessing working relationships—and what steps you can take now to stay compliant.

In this session, Kristen will cover:

• The legal tests for distinguishing contractors from employees
• Red flags that trigger audits and legal disputes
• Recent case law shaping classification decisions
• Practical guidance for contracts, control, and organizational risk
• What to do if you suspect a misclassification issue already exists
• If your organization uses freelancers, gig workers, consultants, or project-based talent, this session is essential to protecting your business and staying onside with the law.
