Contractor Compliance or Catastrophe? A CFO’s Risk Survival Guide
The $530 Million Wake-Up Call: How Tech’s Contractor Crisis Should Terrify Every CFO
Worker misclassification is no longer just an HR issue—it's a financial time bomb sitting inside your balance sheet. In this high-stakes episode, we explore how companies like Nike uncovered over half a billion dollars in potential misclassification liabilities—and why your organization could be next.
Here’s the harsh reality:
Your flexible workforce might be exposing you to massive fines, class-action lawsuits, and years of back taxes. With regulators tightening classification rules worldwide, every independent contractor on your books could turn into a costly misstep.
We break down:
- 📉 Nike’s $530M contractor audit—and how 25% of their workforce should’ve been employees
- 🌍 Global enforcement trends from the U.S., UK, EU, Australia, and Canada
- ⚖️ Real-world case studies: Uber, FedEx, Glovo, Microsoft, and more
- 💼 The red flags finance leaders need to spot before regulators do
- 📊 A strategic framework for CFOs to assess risk, implement compliance, and protect growth
