This is so hard.
I would still do what's right for my business, but I would probably say, look, you did great.
Let me introduce you to some friends who might need your services.
So when we say freelancer, just to make sure we got the nomenclature totally correct, I'm assuming you are a 1099 independent contractor.
An independent contractor, we call them a 1099 because their wages are reported not on a W-2.
That's for employees.
It's reported on an IRS form 1099.
That means you are an independent business person in enterprise for yourself.
You are not an employee.
And if someone calls you a 1099 employee, something is typically – there's a mismatch there.
A 1099 should truly be independent.
They do not get the protections of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
They don't get a lot of the protections that employees have because they're not employees.
They're business owners basically.
So I have had a lot of cases where the employer had employees as a 1099 even though they were really employees themselves.
By itself, it's okay, but then things start happening.
People aren't getting their pay right.
They aren't getting a minimum wage.
They aren't getting overtime.
They aren't having workers' comp coverage, and a lot of complications can spiral out of that.
