Transform Your Practice: Seamlessly Transition from 1099 to W2 Employment

Navigate FLSA Changes with Confidence and Build a Stable, Thriving Practice

The tightening of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) "reality test" has left many leaders questioning how to protect their practices while meeting new compliance standards. The shift from 1099 independent contractors to W2 employees is no small task—but it can also be your greatest opportunity.

At The Mental Health Executive, we specialize in guiding practice owners and organizational leaders through this pivotal transformation. With our tailored strategy and hands-on support, you can confidently restructure your team, safeguard your business, and create a culture that attracts and retains top-tier talent.

Why Transitioning to W2 is the Game-Changer Your Practice Needs

  • Legal and Financial Compliance

    Avoid the pitfalls of hefty fines and legal risks by staying ahead of evolving FLSA requirements. Misclassification of employees can lead to significant penalties, including back wages, liquidated damages, and civil penalties. For instance, willful violations can result in fines up to $10,000 per infraction, with repeat offenders facing imprisonment.

  • Increased Team Stability

    Moving to W2 solidifies your team's commitment, offering stability for your practice and boosting client satisfaction with consistent care delivery.

  • Attract Top Talent with Competitive Benefits

    A W2 structure empowers you to offer the perks that independent contractors can't access—retirement plans, paid time off, professional development, and more. We'll show you how to make these benefits sustainable for your practice.

  • Build a Cohesive Team Culture

    Transitioning to W2 is about more than compliance—it's about creating a workplace where collaboration, growth, and shared purpose thrive.
