Can a business commit a crime? Not the owner or employees, but the business itself? More and more often, the answer is, “Yes.”
The owners of a construction company in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, recently learned that the hard way. District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer charged G&R Drywall and Framing with misclassification of its workers. That’s been a criminal offense in Pennsylvania since 2011, but this is the first such prosecution.
