to yours, the Department of Labor ruled that the workers of the business were employees, and not independent contractors. What should you do?
a. nothing, unless the Department of Labor challenges your arrangement
b. nothing, unless one of the workers complains
c. have all of the workers sign independent contractor agreements immediately
d. begin to treat them as employees, including paying a minimum wage, and withholding income taxes
