Converting to a W2 Group Practice

Build a Legally Compliant, Culture-Driven, Financially Resilient Practice

The mental health industry is shifting—and fast. New FLSA updates (effective March 2024) have raised the stakes for misclassification of independent contractors. What used to feel like a gray area is now clearly defined—and increasingly enforced.

If you’re still using 1099s in your group practice, it’s time to ask:
Am I protected? Is my structure sustainable?

With The Mental Health Executive's support, you won’t just check a compliance box. You'll create a foundation for long-term growth, stability, and culture alignment.

Why W2 Is the Smarter Business Model

 Compliance That Protects You
 Misclassification penalties can reach up to $10,000 per violation—not to mention back wages, interest, and potential lawsuits. We help you build a structure that safeguards your practice from costly risk.

Greater Clinical Quality & Control
 W2 employees enable you to guide clinical workflows, uphold consistent standards of care, and align your team around shared expectations.

Financial Predictability
 Upfront costs can be real—but so are the long-term savings. A W2 structure reduces turnover, avoids fines, and allows for smarter resource planning.

Team Culture That Grows With You
 W2 practices attract top talent. They foster loyalty, transparency, and collaboration—values that can’t be built in a contractor model.
