If you could spend one minute to defend yourself against a threat that could wipe out your business, would you do it? (P.S. It’s Free!)
Recent legal pressures at the state and federal level are requiring mystery shopping companies to provide substantial proof that their thousands of mystery shoppers are independent contractors. Failure to do so results in significant fines, tax withholding requirements and retroactive payments for social security and unemployment insurance.
If even ONE shopper is determined to be an employee (as opposed to an IC), it threatens our entire industry and could result in higher costs to your clients and lower profits to you.
We’ve heard from many of you that this is your greatest concern … and it’s also this year’s #1 priority for the MSPA. After a year of legal research, industry analysis and technical development, we’re proud to announce IC Pro, the most comprehensive program to defend your company against independent contractor audits. It’s yet another major plank of the SASSIE X platform to drop into place!
Why Now?
- In the next week, we’ll be launching the IC Pro initiative and accepting registrations from shoppers for IC Pro status.
- If your company registers now, you’ll get ALL of your shoppers who register for IC Pro status. If you wait, you may lose the first wave of shoppers who register.
- It takes time to build up a substantial base of IC Pro shoppers – the longer you wait, the more vulnerable you are to losing an audit.
The Basics
- It’s FREE – we’ve done this on our own dime, and making it free for SASSIE Partners and shoppers ensures that we’ll get the critical mass necessary to substantially defend our industry.
- It’s effective – we’re following IRS guidelines, industry recommendations and the generous guidance of Russ Hollrah, attorney for the MSPA and IC legislation expert.
- It’s easy – once you sign up, there’s literally NO maintenance. We take care of all the work for you.
- It’s flexible – your schedulers still have the option to select any shopper (but obviously it’s safer to select an IC Pro registered shopper).
- It’s safe – your shoppers stay your shoppers – we don’t exchange any shoppers between MS companies.
- It’s reversible – decide it’s not right for you? We can turn it off in a jiffy.
