Consider introducing your employees to the IRS before it introduces them to you

The IRS wants employers to get to know their employees, if they do not know them already, and the agency has two effective tools to help them do that. The first tool, audit and enforcement, has been used for a long time; it is well-worn, and many would say the IRS is proficient in its use. The second tool, the Voluntary Classification Settlement Program (VCSP), is a bit newer, but many employers are finding it effective and preferable to the traditional audit tool. Both tools are designed to achieve worker classification that discloses a taxpayer’s employees.
