Going to work for an O/O

All good advice but the sofar it sounds normal as for being a sub contractor the basic rules are this you must supply your own tools/eqipment and set your own hours if not he must treat you as an employee and withold taxes ,workerscomp etc..if he doesn't you and him will have the IRS coming to talk with everyone not a good thing ever

 

There are many ways around all that,BUT somebody has to bite the bullet on how the cash is paid because EVERYTHING these days is tracked.As Fuzy said,if you get popped illegal by anyone(IRS,insurance investigator,you have a crash and they dig deep) there will be crying at your house for a long time to come.You take major,potentionally life altering risks when you play that game.It's not worth it if you don't know the guy,already have doubts etc etc......It can turn out to where worrying about him paying you will be the very least of your concerns.I'd skip it and look into alternatives were I you.Even working at Micky D's would look more attractive if things went down bad for you.And they can very easily.
