Q: What defines an employee as a 1099 contractor in PA?
I have an employee that i want to hire as a 1099 independant contractor. Outside of me putting them into my payroll as a 1099 contractor, what else do i need to make sure they are classified the correct way?
A: You should contact a Pennsylvania employment lawyer directly to discuss your situation, as whether a worker can be properly classified as an independent contractor depends on a variety of different factors and will be highly dependent on the specific facts of their situation. Labels alone (such as switching them to 1099 on payroll) do not govern whether the worker can be properly classified as an independent contractor.
