Independent Contractor or Employee?

Which is the right one?

For federal tax purposes, this is an important distinction. Worker classification affects how you pay your federal income tax, social security and Medicare taxes, and how you file your tax return. Classification affects your eligibility for employer and social security and Medicare benefits and your tax responsibilities. If you aren’t sure of your work status, you should find out as soon as possible. 

The courts have considered many facts in deciding whether a worker is an independent contractor or an employee. These relevant facts fall into three main categories: 

behavioral control 

financial control and 

relationship of the parties. 

In each case, it is very important to consider all the facts – no single fact provides the answer. Carefully review the following definitions.

Behavioral Control - These facts show whether there is a right to direct or control how the worker does the work. A worker is an employee when the business has the right to direct and control the worker. The business does not have to actually direct or control the way the work is done – as long as the employer has the right to direct and control the work. For example: Instructions – if you receive extensive instructions on how work is to be done, this suggests that you are an employee. Instructions can cover a wide range of topics, for example: How, when, or where to do the work, what tools or equipment to use what assistants to hire to help with the work, where to purchase supplies and services. If you receive less extensive instructions about what should be done, but not how it should be done, you may be an independent contractor. For instance, instructions about time and place may be less important than directions on how the work is performed with training about required procedures and methods, this indicates that the business wants the work done in a certain way, and this suggests that you may be an employee. 
Financial Control - These facts show whether there is a right to direct or control the business part of the work. For example: Significant Investment – if you have a significant investment in your work, you may be an independent contractor. While there is no precise dollar test, the investment must have substance. However, a significant investment is not necessary to be an independent contractor. Expenses – if you are not reimbursed for some or all business expenses, then you may be an independent contractor, especially if your unreimbursed business expenses are high. Opportunity for Profit or Loss – if you can realize a profit or incur a loss, this suggests that you are in business for yourself and that you may be an independent contractor.

Relationship of the Parties - These are facts that illustrate how the business and the worker perceive their relationship. For example: Employee Benefits – if you receive benefits, such as insurance, pension, or paid leave, this is an indication that you may be an employee. If you do not receive benefits, however, you could be either an employee or an independent contractor. Written Contracts – a written contract may show what both you and the business intend. This may be very significant if it is difficult, if not impossible, to determine status based on other facts.

The status of a worker as an employee of a company rather than an independent contractor is important for determining who is to pay the payroll taxes or to wage withholding taxes. If the worker is considered an independent contractor, then the employer would not withhold any taxes from the independent contractor's payments. The employer would provide the independent contractor with gross sums and would submit a 1099 tax form to the IRS reflecting its payments to the Independent Contractor. It would be the Independent Contractors responsibility to maintain its own records and file its forms independently.

If the worker is considered an employee, then the employer is responsible for paying social security, Medicare, and unemployment (FUTA) taxes on the wages. The employer must provide a Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement at the end of the year, showing the amount of taxes withheld from the employees pay.

INTERVIEW GUIDELINES AND TIPS

TIP #1 
The Introduction
When the applicant arrives, put him or her at ease using a friendly, businesslike attitude. Let the applicant know that you're glad to meet, and that you have set aside sufficient uninterrupted time to conduct the interview.

TIP #2 
Before Getting Started
Let the applicant know some idea of what you’d like to cover today.  Example: “I want to review your background and experience so that I can decide whether the job is suited to your talents and interests. So, I'd like to hear about your job, education, interests, outside activities, how you heard about this position and anything else you'd like to tell me that would relate to the position you are applying for, including what you can offer us here.” 

TIP #3 
Work Experience 
A discussion of work experience should vary widely based, in part, on how long the applicant has been employed. Questions appropriate to a recent high school or college graduate will make little sense when interviewing a professional with 15 years of experience. For an applicant with substantial experience, a reasonable starting point would be a discussion of the most recent position. In addition to focusing on the prior positions, it might also be helpful to discuss why the applicant has changed jobs in the past, the duration of each employment, chronological gaps in employment, etc. 
When interviewing someone who has not been working long, a good place to start would be his or her work experience. What their duties and responsibilities were, their likes and dislikes, and what they felt they may have gained. Start with a brief review of their first work experiences, those they might have had part-time during school or during the summer, and then concentrate on their more recent jobs in more detail.

TIP #4 
Asking Questions
Ask specific, clear questions one at a time and let the applicant answer uninterrupted.  Resist filling in every lull in the conversation; wait to see if the applicant will do so.
Avoid either verbally or physically giving the applicant a clue as to how you regard their answers; remain neutral. To draw the applicant out without revealing what you're thinking, try using his or her own words. If the candidate says, "I like to work independently," you could respond with "Independently?" Of course, you could also use the opportunity to ask the applicant to give an example of what he or she did working independently.

TIP #5
Interests and Activities
Give the applicant the opportunity to mention some of their interests and activities outside of work—hobbies, what they do for fun and relaxation, any community activities, professional associations, or anything else they would like to mention that they think might be relevant to the position they are applying for.

TIP #6
Job Description
If you are still interested in the applicant, proceed to this phase of the interview. On the other hand, if you have already decided that the applicant isn't suitable, there isn't much point in describing a position that the applicant won't be filling. Review the job description and give them information about the organization and the job, and answer any questions that they might have. Review the pay schedule and other possible benefit packages.

TIP #7
Closing
Close the interview graciously. If you've found a promising candidate, you can continue. Example: "What is your level of interest in us at this point?" Explore any doubts or reservations the applicant might have. "Let me review what the next steps are. " Let the applicant know what's likely to happen next, whether another interview will be needed, and how long it will be before a decision is made. 

If you have already decided not to offer the applicant a job, you can let them know at this point or notify them by mail at a later date. Do so cordially and uncritically; you needn't be specific about why you've rejected the candidate, but always thank the applicant for applying.

Letter of Recommendation for Jane Doe (confidential)

To: Office of Graduate Admissions, Institute of Design
From: John Doe, Industrial Designer

I'm honored to recommend Jane Doe for admission to graduate studies at the Institute of Design. Since Jane will be visiting you soon, the following information should help introduce her as well as convey my wholehearted recommendation that she be admitted to your program.

I've worked with Jane closely for three years, during which time we have collaborated on many projects. Her role has been that of a consultant to our architectural firm. Jane and I have also conversed privately on theoretical and practical matters of style, aesthetics, and philosophies of design. I've always been impressed by her know-how. She uses good design principles in all her projects – from arboretums to documents.

The hallmark of Jane's character is her honesty. This is reflected in relationships and business transactions, as well as in integrity of thought. She approaches any analytical task with an exacting eye that is scientific, thorough, and meticulous. This is the kind of care and concern I mean by integrity of thought.

As a student of the humanities, Jane pursued a course of study that could serve as a model for any general education curriculum. She has not only studied Shakespeare, but mathematics as well.

Jane is one of the most pleasant persons you'll ever meet or work with. She is forthright, but neither intimidates nor intrudes. She is genuinely friendly as well as honest. You will also be impressed with her authentic and professional manner.

Jane Doe has my unqualified professional endorsement and my deep personal respect. Please feel free to call at any time if I can be of further assistance.

Letter #7

Describe the job:

John Doe and I have had the pleasure of working together since December 2001, when he was hired by our company to fill the role of Director of Operations. We were in strong need of a hands-on, process-oriented individual to oversee our day-to-day operations. John turned out to be just the man we needed.

Write a statement of results:

John implemented training, measurement, and efficiency procedures that significantly strengthened our overall production results. He works hard and demands significant performance from his subordinates, and will spend the time necessary to ensure that they are properly trained.

List best characteristic:

The characteristic that is most commendable in John is his desire to improve, not simply his projects or subordinates, but himself as well. We have a very different culture at Doe Corporation. As he realized the changes required to work effectively here, he went to work analyzing himself, seeking feedback and then making changes to his style, approach, and manner. I believe he was able to make significant improvements because of his commitment to do so. This and other valuable characteristics, combined with future potential, should be valuable to any organization interested in developing their staff members.

List other good qualities:

Lastly, John is a great motivator and mentor. The employees in our organization were always inspired and prepared to meet new challenges because of his motivational style of management. John is a natural born leader. He is confident and decisive. He makes everyone around him better and would be an excellent addition to any company. 

Sincerely,

John Doe
