Resolving Ethical Dilemmas
For this discussion, you will use the conflict faced by Karah in Self-Test 2 (reproduced below) and apply the decision-making model you found for M3D1.
Karah is hiring a human resources expert to conduct recruiting, hiring, payroll, and benefits administration for her 50-employee, non-profit organization. She has reviewed the IRS rules on classification of consultants as independent contractors versus employees, and believes the way she has structured the HR expert’s work for the organization makes her an employee, not an independent contractor. Even after explaining this to her boss, Karah’s boss orders her to pay the HR expert as an independent contractor so the organization does not have to pay payroll taxes for her.
