We can help you determine whether you are an independent contractor or an employee.
Independent contractors play an important role in their employers' business operations. Employers who hire independent contractors are results-oriented. The independent contractor's employer may not know how the contractor's job gets done, but they make sure that it does get done.
Unfortunately, many employers are unaware of their responsibilities in regard to hiring independent contractors, or how the status of independent contractors differs from other employees. How do you know if you should be categorized as an independent contractor? Consider the following:
Hiring independent contractors relieves employers from many duties: filing taxes, paying overtime, doing paperwork and more. Whether intentional or not, many employers try to control contractors as employees. Under the law, workers are either employees or independent contractors. Misclassifying a worker can cause any number of legal issues. Therefore, determining employee or independent contractor status is an important business decision.
