hiring help & hood stickers

[jhdcs]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just want to get an idea, of what is the paying rate for your help. I want to hire someone and use a 1099. I think that would be better that going the payroll route and the worker's compensation. What is everyone else doing and how is it working for you? I would like to train him and eventually put him out on his own. Just would like to know how you guys are doing this successfully.

Also where are you guys getting your hood stickers. I am looking for a place at and a reasonable price

Independent Contractors vs. Employees

Before you can determine how to treat payments you make for services, you must first know the business relationship that exists between you and the person performing the services. The person performing the services may be -

An independent contractor
A common-law employee
A statutory employee
A statutory nonemployee

In determining whether the person providing service is an employee or an independent contractor, all information that provides evidence of the degree of control and independence must be considered.

It is critical that you, the employer, correctly determine whether the individuals providing services are employees or independent contractors. Generally, you must withhold income taxes, withhold and pay Social Security and Medicare taxes, and pay unemployment tax on wages paid to an employee. You do not generally have to withhold or pay any taxes on payments to independent contractors.

Caution: If you incorrectly classify an employee as an independent contractor, you can be held liable for employment taxes for that worker, plus a penalty.

Who is an Independent Contractor?
A general rule is that you, the payer, have the right to control or direct only the result of the work done by an independent contractor, and not the means and methods of accomplishing the result.

sub contractor or employee

jhdcs, First thing. Do it right. Quit being a cheep skate.

If he rides in your truck, uses your tools, goes to work when you say, he is an employee.

As a sub (1099) He has to be independent of you, uses his own vehicle, tools, supplies, insurance.

Is your employee/sub ready to go get insurance to provide you to work as your sub? The answer is probably not.

So get you some W/C and do it right, its not that expensive.

Yes I have W/C and carried it when I had just one employee. You will be far better off in the long run.
