Independent Contractor Issue Results in Federal Lawsuit Against Griswold International
|
by Stephen Tweed
 In early June, 2014 several franchisees launched a lawsuit against home care franchisor Griswold International LLC, claiming the company bilked them out of more than $3 million in franchise startup fees by promising a unique independent contractor model for home caregivers that was plainly illegal in many states. According to the group of franchisees who are the plaintiffs in the suit, Griswold promoted its business model as being free of employment taxes and other tax withholdings because it used a unique and time-tested independent contractor model, but in reality, the company knew the IRS and state tax authorities were cracking down on the practice.
