So it's important to classify people correctly.

But a lot of times also the employer simply doesn't know.

So we try not to, it depends on the situation.

I try not to jump to the worst case.

A lot of times it's very fine for an employee to come and say, hey, I'm 1099, but you control my schedule.

You control my uniform.

You tell me when to show up, how to work, what to do.

I don't have the autonomy and you're my only employer.

So I'm pretty sure I'm an employee.

We should probably reclassify this.

That's a fair conversation to have.

If you are actually a 1099, yes.

So one way this conversation goes off the rails sometimes is I'm not saying 1099 is bad.

It's great.

It's only bad if you are not and you don't want to be.

I've dealt with employees who got paid sub-minimum wages because they were told they were a 1099.

They believed they were, even though in actuality they were an employee.

And because of the way the pay worked out, they were earning less than the minimum wage.

So you do need to flag it as something that can be abused.

But if you are a true 1099, it's your business.
