Outsourcing, contractors also on agenda

Body

Legal requirements for workers changed in 2020 and understanding the difference between employees, contractors, and outsourcing is the focus of an online seminar from the Paris Small Business Development Center schedule for Wednesday, Jan. 20 at 10:30 a.m.

The seminar will be led by Tisha Dodge, of the law firm Dodge Legal Group, SPC. The firm is believed to be the first Texas social purpose corporate law firm in the state. It provides legal services to social enterprises, start-ups, established businesses, and non-profits. Practice areas include business formation, contract and employment law, intellectual property, and Internet law.

Dodge will explain how businesses hire help as their business grows. Employers will learn to understand the differences between employees and contractors, and whether outsourcing would make a difference. It will also provide knowledge on complying to the vast array of federal and state employment laws.

Believing that entrepreneurs may make a profit and still serve a greater good, Dodge works to stay on the cutting edge of her industry. She created the Texas Social Enterprises through StartUp Greater Good, PBC, as a Texas public benefit corporation dedicated to supporting social entrepreneurs.
