Enforcement - ICEC

Contractors who employ individuals who do not have an ICEC will face civil penalties if they do not provide workers' compensation and unemployment insurance to these individuals, and do not properly withhold state and federal taxes from their employees' pay.

DLI is responsible for the administration and enforcement of the ICEC program, and is required to share information with the Minnesota Departments of Revenue and Employment and Economic Development regarding individuals and employers who are found to be in violation of the ICEC requirements.

In addition to penalties for failure to provide workers' compensation and unemployment insurance, employers may also be subject to civil penalties of up to $5,000 per violation for violating provisions of the ICEC laws and rules. Individuals may also be subject to civil penalties if they provide false or misleading information in an ICEC application, fail to meet all requirements of the nine-factor test to qualify as an independent contractor, allow another person to use their ICEC, misrepresent their status as an independent contractor, or alter or falsify an ICEC.
