IRS fines hit Lorain County health district over contractor status
Elyria Ohio Leram County General Health District faces IRS penalties up to 5000 for paying about 56 nurses and living assistants as independent contractors instead of employees. Commissioner Kenneth Pearce says the move aimed to avoid fringe benefits and keep staffing flexible amid financial strain. IRS warnings could cover 50 or more workers over two years. The district raised home care fees to offset payroll costs, as it serves roughly 790 home health patients annually and funds losses from costly care with revenues from simpler services.
