We break down real studio scenarios — from guest instructors and kiln technicians to seasonal staff — and discuss the legal, financial, and operational implications of each classification. We also cover the ABC test, contracts, insurance requirements, and why government agencies are paying closer attention to worker misclassification than ever before.
