Elucidate Inc

Elucidate means "to enlighten or to shed light upon." For us, it is all about helping businesses understand how and when they can use independent contractors (ICs). Many businesses utilize ICs as part of their work force. The majority are out of compliance and don't know it. Many rely on the advice of professionals that have limited knowledge of the area (such as CPAs who only deal with the IRS or business lawyers that focus on contracts) instead of talking to a workers classification specialist or employment lawyer. In many ways, it is like going to a podiatrist when what you need is a cardiologist. How can you make intelligent business decisions if you don't know what your risk and liability are? That is why we are here. For businesses considering bringing on a new IC, we evaluate the position, let you know what your options are, and put procedures and policies in place that limit your exposure. For businesses that are currently utilizing ICs, we serve as a 3rd party auditor. We evaluate your position, let you know where you are at risk, and help you reduce that risk. We even help you transition workers from IC to employee if that is what is needed. Unless you have had worker classification specialist or an employment lawyer that focuses in this area tell you that you are in compliance in the past year, you should be scheduling a review. How good are we at what do? We're confident enough that if you follow our recommendations and your worker is declared misclassified, we will pay any penalties or fees. Yep, we put our money where our mouth is.
