Why I Created This

Many of you asked:

“Do you have something simple I can use to figure this out?”

Yes — now you do.
I created this guide as a kind of life preserver to give small business owners clarity, confidence, and peace of mind as you enter 2025.

Because misclassification can lead to:

  • stressful audits

  • expensive fines

  • required back pay

  • employee disputes

And most business owners simply don’t have hours to research this on their own.

This guide saves you time, stress, and confusion — and helps you understand what to look for before you consult your HR or legal advisor.

Who This Is For

This guide is ideal for:

  • Small business owners

  • Salon & spa owners

  • Med spas

  • Retail boutiques

  • Trades & service providers

  • Nonprofits

  • Office managers

  • HR coordinators

  • Anyone responsible for hiring or managing people

If you’ve ever wondered “Employee or contractor?” — this tool is for you.

What This Is Not

To protect you AND me, this needs to be very clear:

This guide is NOT:

  • legal advice or a substitute for counsel

  • an evaluation of your specific positions

  • a guarantee of classification outcomes

It is an educational resource to help you understand the federal factors used in classification — and to have more confident conversations with your HR advisor or attorney. Each scenario must be evaluated independently.

This resource is provided for general educational purposes only and is not legal advice. Employment classification decisions should be made in consultation with qualified legal counsel or an HR professional familiar with your specific circumstances. Thrive HR, LLC does not provide legal services and is not liable for decisions made based on this material.

If you'd like support reviewing your classifications — or you want help cleaning up HR before January 1 — I have a few December spots available for:

  • Employee Handbook updates

  • Classification reviews

  • Separation Essentials packages

  • HR audits
