1099 Job?

yeah....."per WORKING WEEK".........

so right here tells me an o/o that has to depend on freight. what if you sit for 3 weeks straight.....can you afford HIS pay then...?????

hey bro, whatever, just watch out, you can get screwed over so easily.

 

so you would be this O/O's employee, and they don't want to pay the taxes or benefits (like workman's comp) that they are really required to do.

 

Here is a comment I made concerning another craigslist.

On a 1099 he would be a I/C not an employee.

 

Basically, it would be illegal. But people still work for them that way and it continues.

 

It's not really a choice you can make - 1099 or not -
If you are an "employee" you can't be paid by the 1099 procedure.
If you are really an "independent contractor", you can be.

You may be an independent contractor if you:
Set your own hours
Set your own rates
Assume personal responsibility for all aspects of the job
Provide your own insurance
Use your own equipment
Decide when and where to work
Decide how to get the job done
Pay all of your own expenses, subject to some reimbursement

Are free to "contract" with other employers, on your terms

If so, you may be an independent contractor.

If few or none of the above items apply, you may be working for an employer who just wants to reduce his expenses and liability, and try to push it onto you.

 

$700 a week minus tax's is $450-475 take home depending on your status on a 1099 then add to that no health benefits, no workers comp if you get hurt , no unemployment if you lose your job

 

112racing, you're right with exception to the worker/comp if I remember right. I believe MI requires self-employed contractors to carry a policy or something similar. I'm 1099 but I'm required to carry a policy much like a work/comp policy. The OP might want to consult the local state law on it.

I'm personally a fan of 1099. You don't really learn to miss money that is taken before you actually get a check

 

yes depends on the state , pa if your self employed you don't need workers comp but many states you have to carry it but can't collect off it if needed
