Independent Contractors (1099)

On the other hand, if your drivers are classified as independent contractors, your dealership is at risk due to the constantly changing views of federal and state authorities. This could lead to heavy penalties. The Employer Misclassification Protection Act (EMPA) has been introduced to both houses of Congress. This Act will enforce compliance with a $1,100 fine per employee for first time offenders and a $5,000 fine per employee for repeat offenders. Car Couriers can keep your drivers compliant and help your dealership avoid these penalties.
