A number of our retirement plan clients have independent contractors performing services for them. There are often questions about whether these independent contractors can or should be covered in the company retirement plan. The answer can be boiled down to two important points:
- Independent contractors are not employees, so there is no requirement to cover them in the company retirement plan. In fact, you can’t cover independent contractors in your qualified plan even if you wanted to.
- However, many workers that companies think are independent contractors or would like to be independent contractors, aren’t. They are common-law employees instead.
