[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1121015, member: 42270"] Not all 1099 contracting is a scam. For example, I did some data entry work for the local historical museum the first summer after I graduated high school. I worked for them for about 3 weeks; it was fairly clear this wasn't a long-term gig and they obviously couldn't afford to keep me on payroll just to enter museum surveys. I was given a deadline and essentially left alone - I didn't have to come into the office, worked at my own pace, et cetera. However, requiring an employee to punch in/punch out, wear a uniform, drive a company vehicle, follow company procedures and classifying them as a 1099 employee is a load of horse [IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG] and only done to keep the IBT out of the portion of FedEx's system they can actually organize station-by-station, and as a result, keep labor costs down.
