Welcome to AccelPro Employment Law, where we offer interviews and products to accelerate your professional development. Today we’re featuring a conversation about worker classification in the entertainment world. Our guest is Anthony Panebianco, a senior associate at DarrowEverett.Classifying workers is complicated enough.
In the entertainment world, it is made more difficult because many performers would rather be classified as independent contractors even though the law says they should be employees.Panebianco has a good deal of personal experience with this issue. As a classically trained pianist, he is a performer himself. As chair of the Cape Symphony, he often hires performers. And as an attorney, he has many creatives and performers for clients. He describes the pitfalls, and how to avoid them, for companies wishing to hire entertainers and for entertainers looking to land gigs.
