Minnesota HF1316 amends the centralized work reporting system to include independent contractors and payors. Employers and payors must report the hiring of employees and independent contractors to the commissioner of children, youth, and families within 20 days of hiring. Independent contractors are defined as those who perform services for compensation of $600 or more per year. Payors must report independent contractors to whom they make payments requiring a 1099-MISC report. Failure to report results in civil penalties, with escalating fines for repeated violations.
