Assurance University Produces New Seminar to Prepare Business Leaders for Department of Labor Audits

SCHAUMBURG, IL (January 28, 2010) - Assurance Agency, based in Schaumburg, IL, has produced a new educational seminar titled “If the Department of Labor Stops by Today, Would You Pass a Surprise Audit?” The seminar will be held on February 23, 2010 at Assurance’s headquarters and is designed for CFOs, CEOs and executive level business leaders of companies, regardless of size.

Insurance industry expert speakers will give an in depth explanation of the differences between an employee (W2) and an independent contractor (1099) from the standpoint of two critical government agencies – the IRS and Illinois Department of Employment Security. This will allow one to gain a better understanding of how to protect yourself when hiring and classifying a W2 versus a 1099 hire. The seminar will also cover how and when an individual contractor can pursue benefits under an ERISA plan. With this knowledge, you will be able to diminish your potential liability for misclassification.

Professionals interested in attending can sign up by clicking here or by calling 847.463.7171. Space is limited and registration is required. Business leaders are encouraged to sign up immediately for admittance.

This seminar is sponsored in part by Assurance’s elite Visionary level business partners: Blue Cross Blue Shield of IL, CHC Wellness, Chelsea Rhone LLC, Crump, Highland Risk Services, McAuley Woods & Associates, Slavin & Slavin, Travelers, UniCare, West Bend and Zenith Insurance Company.
