Question: What Three Government Entities Want to Make Sure You are Paid Properly?<\/p>\n
Answer:\u00a0Department of Labor, the Internal Revenue Service, and Congress.<\/p>\n
Our budget deficit has all three of these entities working towards a common goal: tax revenue.
\nThey are putting pressure on employers, big and small, to make sure they are properly classifying their workers. As an independent contractor, you would be responsible for paying your own taxes and you wouldn\u2019t be covered under the company\u2019s worker compensation insurance or unemployment insurance, making it near impossible to get worker compensation if you are hurt, or unemployment benefits if you are fired. Essentially, all of the financial responsibility is on the independent contractor. The employer is relieved of a substantial amount of taxes and insurance costs by hiring independent contractors.<\/p>\n
The issue is that companies can\u2019t just decide that you will be an independent contractor. There are specific laws dictating who can and cannot be classified as such. An independent contractor should be independent enough from the company to have control over the following:
\nScheduling;<\/strong> the freedom to create and maintain their own schedule so long as major deadlines are met.
\nEquipment<\/strong>; should be able to chose what type of their own equipment they will use to complete the work, including vehicles.
\nUniforms;<\/strong> should not be forced to wear the hiring company\u2019s logo\/ uniforms as if they are an employee.
\nHow the task is completed<\/strong>; should not be told in detail how to perform the work. End goals are really all the hiring company should be imposing.<\/p>\n
