Reclassifying Employees

Does anyone have experience reclassifying Ind Contractors to employees? I had the IRS reclassify an Ind Contractor to employee from 2005 & 2006 wages. This was all done last July, I sent in my 941c with about $2500 in back taxes. I paid both the employer and employee halves. Reading through some of the documents I have, it looks like I have to send the employee a 2008 w2 for his half of the taxes I paid. If I do that then my 941 totals don't add up to the w2 totals, unless I add that $1200 in wages to one of my 941s. Is that what I have to do? And can I just add it to the last quarter 941 or do I have amend the 941 I sent in with the 941C last July. I called the IRS and talked to 2 agents, they could not help me. Thanks

Re: Reclassifying Employees

Hi guys

Shortly after she was hired, the human resources manager for a computer software development company expressed concern to management about all of the company's employees being classified as exempt from the overtime provisions of the FLSA. The company's president told her to conduct an investigation and reclassify employees as appropriate.
After reviewing written job descriptions, she reclassified several software content developers as nonexempt "technical editors." The reclassification wasn't well received by many employees, who were offended that the company viewed their work as less important than work done by exempt employees.
As it turns out, one of the reclassified employees was also a lawyer. He conducted his own "analysis" of the positions' exempt status and submitted a memo to management suggesting that the human resources manager's classifications were incorrect. The company ended up going back to the previous exempt classifications for the employees who complained.
Shortly after that, management circulated a memo airing its concerns about the human resources manager's performance, noting that she had "embarrassed" employees by reclassifying them, was defensive and condescending when responding to complaints about the classifications, and had done "irrevocable damage" to her relationships with the affected employees. The company then terminated her, citing her mistakes in the FLSA classifications and her employee relations difficulties.
The HR manager sued (of course), saying the company violated the provisions of the FLSA that prevent employers from firing employees who "file a complaint" about violations of the Act. She argued that her efforts to reclassify employees qualified as protected activity under the statute and the reasons given by the company for terminating her were just a cover-up for retaliation.

Thanks for sharing us........

Re: Reclassifying Employees

An employee at work has changed a lot. New office technology, a shrinking staff, the change in mission or office because of changes such as gradually as that where the duties and responsibilities are different or more difficult is developed. Current is working very well. How can this work if the position reclassified correctly changed reflects performance requirements.

Re: Reclassifying Employees

An employee's job has changed substantially over time. Due to changes such as new office technology, a shrinking staff, or changes in office mission, the position has gradually evolved to the point where the duties and responsibilities are different or more difficult.

Re: Reclassifying Employees

Well I am totally agree with this saying that An employee at work has changed a lot. New office technology, a shrinking staff, the change in mission or office because of changes such as gradually as that where the duties and responsibilities are different or more difficult is developed. Current is working very well. How can this work if the position reclassified correctly changed reflects performance requirements.
