11 Independent contractor
misclassification
Why should I care about independent contractor misclassification? Independent contractor misclassification is the practice of treating workers as non-employees when the worker should really be considered an employee—and paid like an employee. Misclassification matters because many of the tax, employment, and employee benefits laws apply only to employees.

Summertime, and the livin’ is easy
HOMEPLATE MEDIA Producer/Videographer: Ron Flaviano Content Editor Mark C. Peyko
O
ur schedules change dramatically in summer. Children are out of school and it’s a time for family vacations. We tend to travel greater distances because the days are longer and the weather is better. For me, summer is the time when I create more work for myself. When I was 12, I started caddying at Squaw Creek Country Club in Vienna. In the beginning of 1992, a business partner and I were planning the first issue of The Metro Eye. I had finished graduate school the year before, and was living and working in Michigan. I wanted to leave the Ann Arbor News, so I moved back to Youngstown for a rickety communitydevelopment position. That job fizzled out after three months, but it was simply a device for getting back to Ohio. My mom was fighting cancer, and I didn’t need to be 225 miles away. She lost her battle the day after Christmas in 1991, and everyone in my family handled the loss differently. I needed a major distraction, so I planned a project (and publication) that required a lot of time and energy. This month, you have the results of this continued effort. Enjoy summer, be well, and see you next month.

Valley Growth Ventures receives $3 million grant
T
he Ohio Third Frontier Commission met in Columbus in mid-April and awarded four Ohio-based investment funds a total of $10.348 million from the Pre-Seed and Seed Plus Capitalization Program. Valley Growth Ventures, a partnership between the Youngstown Business Incubator, the Tech Belt Energy Innovation Center, the Mahoning Valley Economic Development Corporation and Youngstown State University, received $3 million. The three other individual awards include: $3.625 million for North Coast Venture Fund; $2.079 million for Mutual Capital Partners Fund III LP and $1.65 million for North Coast Angel Fund III. Ohio Third Frontier is the state’s $2 billion technology-based economic development initiative that seeks to create high-wage jobs through the accelerated growth of high-tech start-up and early-stage companies. The Pre-Seed/Seed Plus Fund Capitalization Program hopes to reinforce Ohio’s technological progress by increasing professionally managed Pre-Seed Funds and creating additional support for developing, retaining and attracting technology companies. The program provides capital for early-stage tech company investments and technology companies progressing toward an institutional venture round. The Third Frontier awards will be used to make direct investments in Ohio based technology companies over the next three years. The State funds are matched by over $12 million in private capital, committed by over 100 Ohio-based individual investors. At least 20 emerging technology companies are expected to receive capital as a result of these awards.

First Night Youngstown is calling for local and regional artists to participate in the annual design competition of its New Year’s Eve events admission button. The winning artist will be promoted at all press events.

The winner’s immediate family will receive free admission to First Night Youngstown’s New Year’s Eve Extravaganza. The button series is traditionally intended to celebrate downtown Youngstown’s unique and historic buildings and architecture. The winning design, to be featured on First Night Youngstown’s 2017 admission button and on all promotional materials, is the fifth in an ongoing series that is donated each year to the Tyler Mahoning Valley History Center. Button designs may be created using any art medium including photography, drawing, painting, collage, mixed or digital media, and then digitally saved as a .jpeg. The design must depict an aspect of downtown Youngstown in a manner that highlights the spirit of New Year’s Eve. A night scene that includes fireworks or other elements that represent New Year’s Eve is preferred. No champagne glasses or images of drinking alcohol; First Night events are family-friendly. The design must include the phrase First Night Youngstown 2017, and it can be a rectangular shape, horizontal or vertical. The final rectangle reduction size will be 2” x 3.” This year designs can also be put on a 3-inch round button. Interested artists should call 330-7449966 to get an entry form, or send an email to: firstnightyoungstown@gmail.com. The submission deadline for the entry form and the design is Aug. 31.

ter reaches Lily Pond and Frog Pond. Construction was set to begin on April 25 and the project is expected to be completed in 45 days. The Lily Pond will be closed throughout the duration of the project. The project will introduce permeable pavers and a bioswale within the parking lot and a bio-filtration area adjacent to the Frog Pond. Adding permeable pavers, swales and ponds, organic soil material, gravel areas and native plant species will enable the site to absorb and reduce the volume and velocity of storm water. Sediments and pollutants will also be filtered from the storm water. Mill Creek MetroParks has been awarded a Surface Water Improvement Fund (SWIF) grant through the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA) for this project. The grant will cover 100 percent of the costs for the rehabilitation of the parking lot and construction of the bio-filtration areas. Mill Creek MetroParks also has committed various in-kind services to further enhance the project. For more information, call Mill Creek MetroParks at 330-702-3000. Compiled from local reports.

Poland begins installing digital sign near school E-program to update ■ Construction crews recently began preparing to install a digital school preschool parents daily message sign at the corner of Rt-170 and Dobbins Road near Poland Seminary High School.

Last year’s commencement speaker and member of the Bulldog Class of ‘76, Eric Spiegel, promised to donate the rest. Spiegel is president and CEO of Siemens USA, and his donation completed the cost of the sign. “This new addition is a complete gift,” said Poland Seminary High School Principal Kevin Snyder. The digital sign will be wireless and remotely controlled.

YSU president outlines vision for campus development
E
xpanded private student housing, improved major thoroughfares, increased retail establishments, new bookstore operations and consolidated services to boost student success are among the projects that are part of a new campus development vision unveiled by Youngstown State University President Jim Tressel. “We are at an important crossroads in the history of YSU,” Tressel said in a presentation in late April before faculty, staff and students. “As the higher education landscape continues to evolve, as resources become more scarce, as the demographics of the Mahoning Valley region continue to change, it is imperative that Youngstown State University has in place the campus infrastructure that will allow us to build and sustain growth for the years ahead.” The presentation, titled “NextYSU: A New Look for a New Era,” outlines campus capital improvement projects that Tressel said are necessary for the university to compete. “We need to widen our enrollment footprint and our recruiting territory, and to do that, we need more and better student housing,” he said. “With that, we also need amenities to attract students and to serve a larger residential population. And we must also continue to provide the facilities that are needed to ensure that our students succeed and graduate on time.” “This spring we saw the first semester-tosemester enrollment increase in five years. Our numbers are up and very positive right now for fall,” said Ron Cole, YSU public information officer. “If we are to grow enrollment, if we are to maintain our competitive edge, we need these sort of amenities. We need these sort of housing options and that’s part of the core of this plan that he [Tressel] outlined.” Funding for the improvements will come from a variety of sources, including private developers, donors and grants, as well as local, state and federal money. Tressel outlined five specific projects:
West Side of Campus – YSU is leasing land on Rayen and Lincoln avenues, between Fifth and Belmont avenues, to private developer Hallmark Campus Communities, which is building 382 beds of student apartment housing called University Edge. The first 162-bed phase will be open for the start of fall semester. “We’re happy to announce that all units are already fully leased,” Tressel said. The 220-bed second phase, pictured, should be ready for occupancy by the start of fall semester 2017. The second phase also includes the possible construction of retail establishments along Fifth Avenue. “Much work needs to be done, but this is the vision we have in mind,” he said. As a result of the University Edge plan, Smith Hall on Fifth Avenue will be demolished. Also on the west side of campus, YSU is taking the lead to apply for a federal grant that will create a “Meds to Eds to Tech to Rec” connection along Fifth Avenue and beyond – from Mercy Health at St. Elizabeth to YSU to the Youngstown Business Incubator to Mill Creek Park. “The project would include improved transpor-

Eventually, plans call for the new Student Success Center to expand into Maag Library via a connector linking the two buildings (pictured). Also in Jones Hall, the university is establishing a center to house the university’s Division of Multicultural Affairs, which is charged with the day-to-day implementation of diversity and inclusion initiatives.

Wick and Lincoln avenues – The city of Youngstown will begin construction late this summer on major improvements to Wick (pictured) and Lincoln avenues, including new road surfaces, underground utility lines and improved lighting. Also along Wick Avenue this summer, the Wick Parking Deck will close for improvements through Aug. 15. In addition, two private apartment projects are planned along Wick Avenue – a 163-bed unit by LRC Realty of Akron between Lincoln and Rayen avenues that would include street-level retail development, and a second set of apartments planned for the southeast corner of Wick and Rayen avenues by NYO Property Group. “Additional modern student housing is critical to our long-term growth,” Tressel said.

YSU Bookstore – The university is in the process of negotiating with Barnes and Noble to take over operations of the university bookstore in Kilcawley Center. Melnick/Fok – Melnick Hall on the east side of Wick Avenue has been fully renovated and is now the home of the YSU Foundation and WYSU-FM. “With its prominent position on our main thoroughfare of Wick Avenue, Melnick is a very visible and important campus building,” Tressel said. “That’s why we invested to improve the facility.” Also, the university’s Honors College has recently relocated to Fok Hall, formerly Alumni House, a historic Youngstown house located on the corner of Wick Avenue and University Plaza. In the presentation, Tressel also talked about ongoing discussions to establish the Mahoning Valley Innovation and Commercialization Center on campus (pictured). The center would be an entrepreneurial hub that includes educational and research space, as well as state-of-the-art manufacturing laboratories, connecting creative minds with advanced manufacturing and the regional business community. YSU will work collaboratively with Eastern Gateway Community College, the cities of Youngstown and Warren, the Youngstown Business Incubator and local K-12 schools. “We firmly believe that this new center will provide a unique environment in which innovation and entrepreneurship can thrive,” Tressel said. “It’s an important vision, and many folks are working hard to help that vision to become reality.” Tressel also unveiled early plans for construction of a Heritage Wall just north of Kilcawley Center to honor recipients of the Heritage Award, the university’s highest honor for former employees. “We are hopeful that we can move this forward and get it completed so we can properly honor those who have dedicated their careers and their lives to the university,” he said.

Understand impact of independent-contractor misclassification W
hy should I care about independent contractor misclassification? Independent contractor misclassification is the practice of treating workers as non-employees when the worker should really be considered an employee—and paid like an employee. Misclassification matters because many of the tax, employment, and employee benefits laws apply only to employees. Companies that treat (and pay) employees as contractors may be violating the law.
CAN STOCK
OHIO PARENTAL CUSTODY RIGHTS ■ I am an unwed mother and my parents think they should have custody of my child. What are my custody rights? Ohio law (Ohio Revised Code, Section 3109.042) says that you have full custody of your child until and unless a court decides to give your legal and custodial rights to someone else. In parent versus nonparent custody battles, the court must first determine that you are an unsuitable parent before custody can be taken from you and given to a nonparent. ■ My child is living with my parents while I am getting my life in order. Do I still have parenting rights to my child? Yes. You can grant different types of custody to your parents: legal custody (rights to the care and control of your child) or temporary
How can our company know if a worker should be considered an employee? Unfortunately, this question is very difficult to answer. The tests for determining who is an employee and who is a contractor differ under different laws and in different jurisdictions. In other words, what is considered an independent contractor relationship under some laws in some locations could be considered an
custody (the temporary right to have physical care and control of the child). You can also grant shared parenting rights (in which case, you both share parenting rights) or visitation rights to your parents. In Ohio, giving a grandparent temporary custody does not mean that you have given up your full parental rights, even if you file the agreement in court. However, if your parents file for custody of your child and you did not visit or maintain contact with your child for 90 or more days, then the court may determine that you have abandoned your child and could decide that you are an unsuitable parent. If that happens, the court would likely determine that it is in your child’s best interest for your parents to have full legal custody. Should this happen, you could file for custody again once you show that there has been a change of circumstances and that it is in
employer-employee relationship under other laws or in other jurisdictions. For example, tax laws, employee benefit laws and anti-discrimination laws tend to evaluate whether someone is an employee based on a “Right to Control Test.” These tests generally look at the extent to which the company has the right to control how work is performed. If the company cares only about the end result, but exerts no control over how, when and where the worker accomplishes the task, such facts tend to support an independent contractor relationship. On the other hand, if the company sets a worker’s schedule, oversees the project step by step, provides training and covers expenses, then such factors weigh more heavily in favor of an employment relationship. Wage and hour laws, which determine whether a minimum wage or overtime must be paid, generally apply a different test, called an “Economic Realities Test.” Many factors may be considered, but the main issue here is whether, as a matter of economic reality, the worker depends on the company to earn a living. Even if a company exerts minimal control over how work is performed, a worker may be an employee if the company provides the worker’s main source of income, especially if the company pays the worker’s expenses so the worker will not incur a loss. On the other hand, independent
your child’s best interest for you to regain custody. ■ I financially support my grandchild. Can I get custody? For you to get custody, a court must first find that the parent is unsuitable. Unsuitability is determined on a case-by-case basis. The fact that you are better off financially or live in a better school district than the parent is not enough to show that the parent is unsuitable. However, if the court finds that the parent is unsuitable, then the court will likely determine that it is in the child’s best interest for you to have custody. ■ Why is it necessary to show that a parent is unsuitable? Parents have special protections under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution to raise their own children. The U.S. Supreme Court has held that it is a fundamental rule that the custody, care and nurture of the
contractors tend to be in business for themselves. They market their services to the public, have multiple clients (even if not at the same time), and may hire helpers. Independent contractors may earn a profit, but they also risk incurring a loss. Can’t the worker and company just agree that the relationship is a contractor relationship? No. It can be helpful to use an Independent Contractor Agreement to identify the parties’ rights and responsibilities, but a company cannot contract out of tax, employment or employee benefit law. The facts of the relationship are what matters—not what labels may be used to describe it. If the relationship resembles employment, the worker is an employee, and all of the tax, employment and benefits laws that apply to employees also apply to that worker, regardless of what the parties’ contract might say. What happens if a company misclassifies a worker as an independent contractor? Laws that don’t apply to an independent contractor relationship do apply to an employer relationship. For employees, companies must withhold taxes and make deductions for unemployment, Social Security, and Medicare; carry workers’ compensation insurance and generally provide employee benefits. Companies also must pay employees a minimum wage
child lie first with the parents. For this reason, a court must first determine that a parent is unsuitable before granting custody to a grandparent or nonparent. ■ I don’t agree with the way my daughter is raising her child. Is that enough to show unsuitability? No. Courts have explicitly held that mere character or moral weakness of the parent is not enough to show unsuitability. There must also be evidence of some harm to or negative effect on the child. ■ What does the court consider when deciding whether or not a parent is unsuitable? A preponderance (greater weight) of the evidence must show that the parent has abandoned the child or signed a contract giving up legal custody (not merely temporary custody) of the child; that the parent has become totally incapable of caring for the child; or that it would
and must pay time-and-a-half to nonexempt employees who work more than 40 hours in a week. If a worker was treated as a contractor and not an employee, all of these requirements were likely not followed. Consequences for misclassifying may include paying back taxes, penalties, back wages, and other assessments. Companies that misclassify workers on a large scale can find themselves liable for huge sums of money. I own a small business. What should I do if I think I may have misclassified my workers? Look closely at the facts of your relationship to your workers. You can usually make changes to enhance the legitimacy of a contractor relationship without disturbing your business objectives. This “Law You Can Use” consumer legal information column was provided by the Ohio State Bar Association. It was prepared by attorney Todd Lebowitz, a partner with the law firm of Baker Hostetler who helps companies limit risks of worker misclassification.

be detrimental to the child for the parent to have custody. ■ I am the father. Grandparents are taking care of my child now because a state agency determined that my child was neglected, abused, or dependent when in her mother’s care. Does that make me unsuitable, too? Yes. A determination that a child is abused, neglected, or dependent (the child lacked adequate parental care) means that both parents are considered unsuitable even if you, the father, did not live with the mother and child. If grandparents file for custody of your child, the court may determine that it is in the child’s best interest to give them custody due to your automatic finding of unsuitability. However, some courts may still grant you custody if they find you weren’t involved in the neglect or abuse. If grandparents are awarded custody, you can file for custody later if you can show

Jameson, Penn State announce nursing-education partnership T he Jameson Health System School of Nursing and Penn State Shenango have announced the formation of a partnership for nursing education that will offer area residents the opportunity to earn a diploma in nursing from Jameson and then a bachelor’s degree in nursing from Penn State Shenango in a seamless and timely manner. Students will study nursing in three phases, with the first phase focused on the successful completion of nursing pre-requisite courses at a college or university of their choice. It is recommended that prospective students seek guidance from Jameson when choosing these classes. Phase two is completed at Jameson Memorial Hospital School of Nursing. Qualified students meeting all criteria apply for
admission to the Jameson Memorial Hospital School of Nursing where they complete the requirements for the diploma in nursing and prepare for nursing licensure. While enrolled at Jameson, students also complete four Penn State courses as part of the Jameson curriculum, giving these students a start on a bachelor of science in nursing. Students then enter Phase 3 by applying for admission to Penn State Shenango’s RN to BS program. Here, they complete the final BS course requirements, and, upon successful completion, they are awarded a bachelor of science in nursing from Penn State. Jayne Sheehan, RN, MSN, CRNP, director of Jameson Memorial Hospital School of Nursing, and Kathleen Mastrian PhD, RN, praised the partnership as an innova-

tive educational opportunity for those seeking a career in nursing. “The flexibility of this program allows students who wish to work as registered nurses the opportunity to do so at completion of the diploma program, while completing the remaining coursework for their bachelor’s degree in a timely manner. We believe it’s a great model for today’s students,” said Mastrian. “The Institute of Medicine published a
report in 2010 that strongly recommended hospitals have at least 80 percent of registered nurses with a BS by 2020. This partnership with Penn State is aligning our students with the optimum education to easily obtain their BS,” said Sheehan. The Jameson Memorial Hospital School of Nursing is a modern educational facility which provides the setting for a high-quality nursing program that prepares students for the profession of nursing. The program offers highly-skilled faculty, clinical experience early in the program, and a wide variety of clinical experiences in the Hospital setting and in the community.

THE WINE GUY
Wine Guy returns after brief hiatus; introduces clip-and-save tasting chart t’s great to once again be sharing my wine experiences and recommendations with Metro Monthly readers. Though I took a nasty spill this winter that prevented me from getting around, I’m happy to say I’m on the mend and back to The Wine Guy column. You’ll notice a different format starting this month, with the wines listed in a handy chart that’s easier for readers to use and refer to. A few weeks ago, I attended the annual Beaver Creek Wildlife Center fundraiser wine taste. I’ve covered this fun event for a number of years, and I’m always impressed by the all-volunteer staff and what a fantastic job they do. Take a weekend drive down
