Worker Classification Initiative

The Fresh Start Proper Worker Classification Initiative (“Fresh Start Program”) allows employers who have been misclassifying a class or classes of workers as independent contractors to reclassify those workers and voluntarily disclose such reclassification to the Department of Revenue (“Department”) without liability for prior periods.

Qualifying businesses must submit an application for the Fresh Start Program to the Department between January 1, 2023, and December 31, 2023.
