How Should You Know? Using independent contractors: How to protect your company from liability Partner ebecker@cwlawyers.com “When employers come to me for advice, my objective is to provide them with real world, practical guidance – not simply what the law says they can’t or shouldn’t do.  Employers need to know what they must do to protect their business and manage risk, but more importantly, they want to know how to solve the problem, whether it is managing a difficult employee or negotiating a challenging union contract.”  Erick Becker leads the labor and employment practice group at Cummins & White.  With more than 20 years of practical experience in labor and employee relations, his expertise centers on helping employers maintain compliance with the myriad of laws and regulations governing employment.  He also advises employers on strategies to maintain their union free status and assists unionized employers with negotiations, contract administration, strike management and communications. Mr. Becker also represents employers in all areas of employment litigation.  Mr. Becker has extensive experience handling matters before the NLRB, EEOC, State Labor Commissioner, and other administrative agencies.  He works with clients in a wide variety of industries, including construction, manufacturing, transportation, and health care. Before joining Cummins & White, LLP, Becker was the CEO of The American Consulting Group, Inc., where he provided labor relations and human resources guidance to a wide range of companies, from Fortune 500 corporations to small- and mid-size businesses.  Practice Areas Labor & Employment Risk Management & Employment Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE /* Style Definitions */table.MsoNormalTable{mso-style-name:"Table Normal";mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0;mso-tstyle-colband-size:0;mso-style-noshow:yes;mso-style-priority:99;mso-style-parent:"";mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt;mso-para-margin-top:0in;mso-para-margin-right:0in;mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0in;line-height:115%;mso-pagination:widow-orphan;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} Bar Admissions U.S. District Court (Central District of California) U.S. Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit Education BA (Political Science), University of California, Santa Barbara JD, University of California, Berkeley (Boalt Hall) Representative Clients Pillsbury Children's Hospital of Orange County Mattel Avery Dennison Forest Lawn Memorial Parks and Mortuaries Inland Kenworth Montebello Container Memberships State Bar of California (Employment Section) Orange County Bar Association ProVisors - Orange County Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE /* Style Definitions */table.MsoNormalTable{mso-style-name:"Table Normal";mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0;mso-tstyle-colband-size:0;mso-style-noshow:yes;mso-style-priority:99;mso-style-parent:"";mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt;mso-para-margin-top:0in;mso-para-margin-right:0in;mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0in;line-height:115%;mso-pagination:widow-orphan;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} Charitable Interests and Community Service Board Member for Camp 4 Kids Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE /* Style Definitions */table.MsoNormalTable{mso-style-name:"Table Normal";mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0;mso-tstyle-colband-size:0;mso-style-noshow:yes;mso-style-priority:99;mso-style-parent:"";mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt;mso-para-margin-top:0in;mso-para-margin-right:0in;mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0in;line-height:115%;mso-pagination:widow-orphan;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} Save Save Save Save Save
