[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5540454, member: 58386"] Still comes back once again to the need to get somebody to work for nothing. And here's a good story along those lines: Yesterday I just happened to come across this help wanted ad. The guy wanted people to do this thing called "kitting" . So today with nothing else to do and it wasn't far away I decide to go check it out. As it turned out this so called "kitting" is nothing more than bulk breaking and repackaging for this guy who has a contract with among others Amazon So I talked to the owner and he showed me what it was all about what the job was going to entail along with the pay of x number of dollars per hour but I would be paid as a 1099 non employee. I said to him...."1099 is an independent contractor. Now what you want me to do is to serve at your direction convenience and command and control and you want me to pay your share of Social Security and Medicare (FICA) and absolve your company of all workplace health and safety related liability. In addition the IRS has a 20 test protocol to determine whether a person is an employee or an independent contractor and on the basis of what you told me, you've already failed half of them. And remember all a person has to do is to fill out and mail in IRS Form SS-8 and the IRS will tell you what they are". We parted company politely and obviously I'll never heard from him again. As a young business school graduate, he knew what he was doing. Just another one going along for as long as nobody suspects it and for as long as he can get away with it. [/QUOTE]
