Reply 1 Odella: The difference between an employee and an independent contractor, is how the employer pays them and how their taxes are paid. An employee is paid by the hour, salary, commission or combination of both. An employee also could get overtime. An employee receive a W-2 form, which shows their yearly income. The reason that they receive a W-2, because their employer withhold federal and state income taxes and FICA taxes, which is social security and medicare. An independent contractor is provided a 1099, the employer that they do work for does not withheld their federal, state and FICA taxes from the amount the company pay's them. An independent contractor is liable for their own income taxes, which is called self-employment. However, an independent contractor works without the legal amenities that will protect them, but an employee does. For example, wage and hour laws, workers compensation and unemployment benefits. There have been several cases, that have led to companies being penalized, by the mis-classification of their employees. When an employer mis-classify an employee, they would label he/she as an independent contractor; because this will disable the company in paying taxes on employees. Such as unemployment taxes, unemployment insurance and workers compensation. When companies mis-classify their employees, will cause an effect on the state and federal government. That is short changing them on their tax revenue by millions of dollars. With mis-classifying employees, this will be a legal and ethical issue. For instance, the reason why companies will mis-classify an employee and an independent contractor is, to save on labor costs. Labor costs is a major portion of the company. overhead. Mis-classifying workers has a big negative result at the end, for the company. For example, when a company intentionally classify employees as independent contractors; it becomes unethical. This is a fraudulent act toward the state and federal governments. As a result, the state and federal have taken action to penalize companies, who have been mis-classifying their employees. The IRS have implemented some test in reference to decipher an employee from an independent contractor. The test consist of behavioral control, financial control and type of responsibility. Fines are generated from the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), IRS and other state agencies. Some of the fines that companies are responsible for is, back pay on taxes, interest on employees' wages and FICA taxes that were not withheld. Failure to make payments to the government, can produce additional fines. Reference Post, J. (2018, September 20). Worker Classification: What You Need to Know about Employee vs. Contractor.

Employee vs Independent Contractor
This document discusses the differences between classifying workers as employees versus independent contractors. Classifying workers incorrectly can result in IRS penalties and fines. The IRS uses several factors to determine proper classification, focusing on behavioral control, financial control, and the relationship between the parties. Intentionally misclassifying workers as independent contractors when they are really employees carries greater risks of penalties than unintentional misclassification. It is safest to classify ambiguous workers as employees or seek professional advice.

Both large and small businesses across the country utilize independent contractors or freelancers. As these workers fuel today’s gig economy, understanding the difference between a company employee and an independent contractor is important for an organization’s tax purposes. Insurance Journal recently shared that government agencies are auditing companies to see if they are classifying their workers as independent contractors instead of workers to avoid paying workers’ comp, unemployment taxes, social security and Medicare.

Mason performs services for Isabella. In determining whether Mason is an employee or an independent contractor, comment on the relevance of each of the factors listed below.
a. Mason performs services only for Isabella and does not work for anyone else.
b. Mason sets his own work schedule.
c. Mason reports his job-related expenses on a Schedule C.
d. Mason obtained his job skills from Isabella
Solution
The difference between an independent contractor and an employee is extremely important because the difference determines one’s liability to pay and withhold Federal income tax, social security and Medicare taxes, and Federal unemployment tax.
Mason reports his job-related expenses on a Schedule C. SO he is a independent contractor
According to the IRS, an independent contractor is someone who is in business for themselves. An independent contractor is different from an employee in that he/she is usually not eligible for benefits such as health insurance or paid time off, is not covered by worker’s compensation insurance, and is responsible for submitting his/her own income taxes to the IRS.
Generally, an employee is someone who performs services for the employer and who is controlled by the employer as for what will be done and how it will be done. Employees are defined either under common law or under special statutes for certain situations. Under the common law, an employee is someone who performs duties dictated or controlled by others, usually the employer or principal. The employee usually undergoes training for work to be done, and usually works for only one employer. In an employer-employee relationship, the employer retains the right to terminate the employee and the employer provides the employee with tools and a place to work. Just as in the case of independent contractors, it does not matter how the employer-employee relationship is labeled. The substance of the relationship, not the label, governs the employee’s status. Furthermore, it does not matter whether the individual is employed full-time or part-time
One of the major reasons businesses should carefully make a distinction between independent contractors and employees is to avoid potential problems with government agencies such as the IRS. According to IRS Publication 970,

Solution
The independent contractor is hurt in the following ways:
1. Works like an employee in almost every aspect except a legal employment contract and hence cannot receive employment benefits like pension, housing perks, promotions, regular increment, etc.
2. Has to pay more tax as they are now subject to self-employment tax.
3. Moral issue on account of filing of income tax i.e. even though they are aware about the 20 factor test and they can be termed as employees, they have to file a return as independent contractors.
4. May face problems in job switching as they are not on payroll of any organisation but only a contractor.
If a business takes an aggressive position and interprets the law in a very slanted way, it is not very ethical. They are taking away the benefits of their employees by naming them as Individual Contractors and at the same time they are falsely stating it in the income tax returns.
Doing this will definitely hurt the independent contractors as stated above but it will also hurt the business through the following ways:
1. Goodwill among the society
2. Poor efficiency by contractors / employees
3. Income tax audits, fines and penalties, etc. can be levied at a future date.

Technical consulting taxes
The document summarizes the three main types of tax relationships for technical consultants: W-2, corp-to-corp, and 1099. With a W-2, the client company pays portions of taxes and offers benefits but has liability. With corp-to-corp, the consultant pays all taxes through their own S-Corp or LLC but has more control over benefits and liability. A 1099 is rarely used due to IRS regulations holding clients responsible for unpaid taxes. The document advises consultants to examine the tax payments, liability, and benefits of each to determine the best fit.

Cadillac Tax Overview
Overview of the Cadillac Tax
The “Cadillac Tax” was created as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (PPACA). The Cadillac Tax is an excise tax that was designed to generate revenue to help in paying the Federal Government’s cost of the Affordable Care Act. It was also
to serve as a deterrent against the purchase of high-cost plans. When you have a plan where members have larger personal out of pocket, those enrolled would tend to become better consumers and in turn help hold down the growing cost of healthcare.

16 Need-to-Know Small Business
Regulations
Gretchen Schmid
Original Source
Have you ever worked in an office with a poster that said “Employee Rights Under the
Fair Labor Standards Act,” or maybe one that said “Equal Employment Opportunity Is
the Law”?
Did you wonder why it was there?
It wasn’t just for wall decoration: Employers are often legally required to place these
posters in plain sight, depending on the structure and type of their business. That’s just
one of the many regulations—meaning a legal rule issued by a government agency—
that can affect a small business.
Consider this: The Code of Federal Regulations, a document published each year by
the federal government that lists all areas subject to regulation, is divided into 50 broad
subsections. It’s no surprise that small business owners often feel overwhelmed and
disheartened about the number of governmental regulations imposed on their business!
We’ve put together a guide to 16 of the most common types of regulations that you
need to consider when setting up and running your small business, from overtime pay to
health insurance to antitrust laws.
Setting Up Your Business
1. Size regulations
https://www.fundera.com/blog/small-business-regulations
First of all, you need to determine whether your small business is actually a small
business in the eyes of the federal government.
Why does that matter?
Because all the programs created by the Small Business Act in 1953 to help small
businesses, like loans, counseling, and contracts, are only available to businesses that
fit the size standards.
These standards differ from industry to industry: Some are based on number of
employees, while others are based on the business’s finances.
2. Licenses and permits
Does your business sell alcohol or firearms, operate oversize vehicles or planes, import
or export animals, plants, or animal products, or broadcast information via radio? You’ll
need to apply for a federal permit.
If none of those apply to you, you’re not necessarily off the hook: Depending on your
state, you may need to apply for a state license or permit. Selling goods often requires a
sales tax license, for example, while operating a veterinary clinic or a hair salon might
require a professional license.
Almost every business needs some sort of license or permit to operate legally—the
tricky part is figuring out which ones you need. Check out the SBA’s directory of state
license requirements and their guide to federal licenses for more information.

16 Need-to-Know Small Business
Regulations
Gretchen Schmid
Original Source
Have you ever worked in an office with a poster that said “Employee Rights Under the
Fair Labor Standards Act,” or maybe one that said “Equal Employment Opportunity Is
the Law”?
Did you wonder why it was there?
It wasn’t just for wall decoration: Employers are often legally required to place these
posters in plain sight, depending on the structure and type of their business. That’s just
one of the many regulations—meaning a legal rule issued by a government agency—
that can affect a small business.
Consider this: The Code of Federal Regulations, a document published each year by
the federal government that lists all areas subject to regulation, is divided into 50 broad
subsections. It’s no surprise that small business owners often feel overwhelmed and
disheartened about the number of governmental regulations imposed on their business!
We’ve put together a guide to 16 of the most common types of regulations that you
need to consider when setting up and running your small business, from overtime pay to
health insurance to antitrust laws.
Setting Up Your Business
1. Size regulations
https://www.fundera.com/blog/small-business-regulations
First of all, you need to determine whether your small business is actually a small
business in the eyes of the federal government.
Why does that matter?
Because all the programs created by the Small Business Act in 1953 to help small
businesses, like loans, counseling, and contracts, are only available to businesses that
fit the size standards.
These standards differ from industry to industry: Some are based on number of
employees, while others are based on the business’s finances.
2. Licenses and permits
Does your business sell alcohol or firearms, operate oversize vehicles or planes, import
or export animals, plants, or animal products, or broadcast information via radio? You’ll
need to apply for a federal permit.
If none of those apply to you, you’re not necessarily off the hook: Depending on your
state, you may need to apply for a state license or permit. Selling goods often requires a
sales tax license, for example, while operating a veterinary clinic or a hair salon might
require a professional license.
Almost every business needs some sort of license or permit to operate legally—the
tricky part is figuring out which ones you need. Check out the SBA’s directory of state
license requirements and their guide to federal licenses for more information.

It describes how Chris Cox, Facebook's chief product officer, led discussions about overhauling the button. The like button had become a blunt tool, and Cox wanted to expand the range of emotions that users could express beyond just "liking" something. This would become the "Reactions" feature, allowing responses like love, haha, wow, sad, and angry. The change took over a year to develop and test before being publicly launched.

Mr. B, a 40-year-old avid long-distance runner previously in goo.docx
Mr. B, a 40-year-old avid long-distance runner previously in good health, presented to his primary provider for a yearly physical examination, during which a suspicious-looking mole was noticed on the back of his left arm, just proximal to the elbow. He reported that he has had that mole for several years, but thinks that it may have gotten larger over the past two years. Mr. B reported that he has noticed itchiness in the area of this mole over the past few weeks. He had multiple other moles on his back, arms, and legs, none of which looked suspicious. Upon further questioning, Mr. B reported that his aunt died in her late forties of skin cancer, but he knew no other details about her illness. The patient is a computer programmer who spends most of the work week indoors. On weekends, however, he typically goes for a 5-mile run and spends much of his afternoons gardening. He has a light complexion, blonde hair, and reports that he sunburns easily but uses protective sunscreen only sporadically.
Physical exam revealed: Head, neck, thorax, and abdominal exams were normal, with the exception of a hard, enlarged, non-tender mass felt in the left axillary region. In addition, a 1.6 x 2.8 cm mole was noted on the dorsal upper left arm. The lesion had an appearance suggestive of a melanoma. It was surgically excised with 3 mm margins using a local anesthetic and sent to the pathology laboratory for histologic analysis. The biopsy came back Stage II melanoma.
1. How is Stage II melanoma treated and according to the research how effective is this treatment?

Moving members of the organization through the change process ca.docx
Moving members of the organization through the change process can be quite difficult. As leaders take on this challenge of shifting practice from the current state to the future, they face the obstacles of confidence and competence experienced by staff. Change leaders understand the importance of recognizing their moral purpose and helping others to do the same. Effective leaders foster moral purpose by building relationships, considering other’s perspectives, demonstrating respect, connecting others, and examining progress (Fullan & Quinn, 2016). For this Discussion, you will clarify your own moral perspective and how it will impact the elements of focusing direction.
To prepare:
· Review the Adams and Miskell article. Reflect on the measures taken in building capacity throughout the organization.
· Review Fullan and Quinn’s elements of Focusing Direction in Chapter 2. Reflect on aspects needed to build capacity as a leader.
· Analyze the two case examples used to illustrate focused direction in Chapter 2.
· Clarify your own moral purpose, combining your personal values, persistence, emotional intelligence, and resilience.
A brief summary clarifying your own moral imperative.
· Using the guiding questions in Chapter 2 on page 19, explain your moral imperative and how you can use your strengths to foster moral imperative in others.
· Based on Fullan’s information on change leadership, in which areas do you feel you have strong leadership skills? Which areas do you feel you need to continue to develop?

Predictive Policing: Using Technology to Reduce Crime
By Zach Friend, M.P.P.
4/9/2013
Nationwide law enforcement agencies face the problem
of doing more with less. Departments slash budgets
and implement furloughs, while management struggles
to meet the public safety needs of the community. The
Santa Cruz, California, Police Department handles the
same issues with increasing property crimes and
service calls and diminishing staff. Unable to hire more
officers, the department searched for a nontraditional
solution.
In late 2010 researchers published a paper that the
department believed might hold the answer. They
proposed that it was possible to predict certain crimes,
much like scientists forecast earthquake aftershocks.
An “aftercrime” often follows an initial crime. The time and location of previous criminal activity helps to
determine future offenses. These researchers developed an algorithm (mathematical procedure) that
calculates future crime locations.1
Equalizing Resources
The Santa Cruz Police Department has 94 sworn officers and serves a population of 60,000. A
university, amusement park, and beach push the seasonal population to 150,000. Department personnel
contacted a Santa Clara University professor to apply the algorithm, hoping that leveraging technology
would improve their efforts. The police chief indicated that the department could not hire more officers.
He felt that the program could allocate dwindling resources more efficiently.
Santa Cruz police envisioned deploying officers by shift to the most targeted locations in the city. The
predictive policing model helped to alert officers to targeted locations in real time, a significant
improvement over traditional tactics.
Making it Work
The algorithm is a culmination of anthropological and criminological behavior research. It uses complex
mathematics to estimate crime and predict future hot spots. Researchers based these studies on

Motor Milestones occur in a predictable developmental progression in.docx
Motor Milestones occur in a predictable developmental progression in young children. They begin with reflexive movements that develop into voluntary movement patterns. For the motor milestone of independent walking, there are many precursor reflexes that must first integrate and beginning movement patterns that must be learned. Explain the motor progression of walking in a child, starting with the integration of primitive reflexes to the basic motor skills needed for a child to walk independently. Discuss at which time frame each milestone occurs from birth to walking (12-18 months of age). What are some reasons why a child could be delayed in walking? At what age is a child considered delayed in walking and in need of intervention? What interventions are available to children who are having difficulty walking? Please be sure to use APA citations for all sources used to formulate your answers.

Most women experience their closest friendships with those of th.docx
Most women experience their closest friendships with those of the same sex. Men have suffered more of a stigma in terms of sharing deep bonds with other men. Open affection and connection is not actively encouraged among men. Recent changes in society might impact this, especially with the advent of the meterosexual male. “The meterosexual male is less interested in blood lines, traditions, family, class, gender, than in choosing who they want to be and who they want to be with” (Vernon, 2010, p. 204).
In this week’s reading material, the following philosophers discuss their views on this topic: Simone de Beauvoir, Thomas Aquinas, MacIntyre, Friedman, Hunt, and Foucault. Make sure to incorporate their views as you answer each discussion question. Think about how their views may be similar or different from your own. In at least 250 words total, please answer each of the following, drawing upon your reading materials and your personal insight:
To what extent do you think women still have a better opportunity to forge deeper friendships than men? What needs to change to level the friendship playing field for men, if anything?
How is the role of the meterosexual man helping to forge a new pathway for male friendships?

Most patients with mental health disorders are not aggressive. Howev.docx
Most patients with mental health disorders are not aggressive. However, it is important for nurses to be able to know the signs and symptoms associated with the five phases of aggression, and to appropriately apply nursing interventions to assist in treating aggressive patients. Please read the case study below and answer the four questions related to it.
Aggression Case Study
Christopher, who is 14 years of age, was recently admitted to the hospital for schizophrenia. He has a history of aggressive behavior and states that the devil is telling him to kill all adults because they want to hurt him. Christopher has a history of recidivism and noncompliance with his medications. One day on the unit, the nurse observes Christopher displaying hypervigilant behaviors, pacing back and forth down the hallway, and speaking to himself under his breath. As the nurse runs over to Christopher to talk, he sees that his bedroom door is open and runs into his room and shuts the door. The nurse responds by attempting to open the door, but Christopher keeps pulling the door shut and tells the nurse that if the nurse comes in the room he will choke the nurse. The nurse responds by calling other staff to assist with the situation.
1. What phase of the aggression cycle is Christopher in at the beginning of this scenario? What phase is he in at the end the scenario? (State the evidence that supports your answers).
2. What interventions could have been implemented to prevent Christopher from escalating at the beginning of the scenario?
3. What interventions should the nurse take to deescalate the situation when Christopher is refusing to open his door?
4. If a restrictive intervention (restraint/seclusion) is used, what are some important steps for the nurse to remember?

Most of the ethical prescriptions of normative moral philosophy .docx
Most of the ethical prescriptions of normative moral philosophy tend to fall into one of the following three categories: deontology, consequentialism, and virtue ethics. These categories in turn put an emphasis on different normative standards for judging what constitutes right and wrong actions.
Moral psychologists and behavioral economists such as Jonathan Haidt and Dan Ariely take a different approach: focusing not on some normative ethical framework for moral judgment, but rather on the psychological foundations of moral intuition and on the limitations that our human frailty places on real-world honesty, decency, and ethical commitments.
In this context, write a short essay (minimum 400 words) on what you see as the most important differences between the traditional normative philosophical approaches and the more recent empirical approach of moral psychology when it comes to ethics. As part of your answer also make sure that you discuss the implications of these differences.

Most healthcare organizations in the country are implementing qualit.docx
Most healthcare organizations in the country are implementing quality improvement programs to save lives, enhance customer satisfaction, and reduce the cost of healthcare services. Limited human and material resources often undermine such efforts. Zenith Hospital in a rural community has 200 beds. Postsurgical patients tend to contract infections at the surgical site, requiring extended hospitalization. Mr. Jones—75 years old—was admitted to Zenith Hospital for inguinal hernia repairs. He was also hypertensive, with a compromised immune system. Two days after surgery, he acquired an infection at the surgical site, with elevated temperature, and then he developed septicemia. His condition worsened, and he was moved to isolation in the intensive care unit (ICU). A day after transfer to the ICU, he went into ventricular arrhythmia and was placed on a respirator and cardiac monitoring machine. Intravenous fluids, antibiotics, and antipyretics could not bring the fever down, and blood analysis continued to deteriorate.
The hospital infection control unit got involved. The team confirmed that postsurgical infections were on the increase, but the hospital was unable to identify the sources of infection. The surgery unit and surgical team held meetings to understand possible sources of infection. The team leader had earlier reported to management that they needed to hire more surgical nurses, arguing that nurses in the unit were overworked, had to go on leave, and often worked long hours without break.
Mr. Jones’ family members were angry and wanted to know the source of his infection, why he was on the respirator in isolation, and why his temperature was not coming down. Unfortunately, his condition continued to deteriorate. His daughter invited the family’s legal representative to find out what was happening to her father and to commence legal proceedings.
Then, the healthcare manager received information that two other patients were showing signs of postsurgical infection. The healthcare manager and care providers acknowledged the serious quality issues at Zenith Hospital, particularly in the surgical unit. The healthcare manager wrote to the Chairman of the Hospital Board, seeking approval to implement a quality improvement program. The Board held an emergency meeting and approved the manager’s request. The healthcare manager has invited you to support the organization in this process.
Please address the following questions in your response:
What are successful approaches for gaining a shared understanding of the problem?
How can effective communication be implemented?
What is a qualitative approach that helps in identifying the quality problem?
What tools can provide insight into understanding the problem?
In quality improvement, what does appreciative inquiry help do?
What is a benefit of testing solutions before implementation?
What is a challenge that is inherent in the application of the plan, do, study, act (PDSA) method?

Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) are “pass-through” bundles of housing debt sold as investment vehicles
A mortgage-backed security, MBS, is a type of asset-backed security that pays investors regular payments, similar to a bond. It gets the title as a “pass-through” because the security involves several entities in the origination and securitization process (where the asset is identified, and where it is used as a base to create a new investment instrument people can profit off of).
Key Players involved in the MBS Process
[Mortgage] Lenders: banks who sell mortgages to GSE’s
GSE: Government Sponsored Entities created by the US Government to make owning property more accessible to Americans
1938: Fannie Mae (FNMA): Federal National Mortgage Assoc.
1970: Freddie Mac (FHLMC): Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp.
Increase mortgage borrowing
Introduce competitor to Fannie Mae
1970: Ginnie Mae (GNMA): Government National Mortgage Assoc.
US Government: Treasury: implicit commitment of providing support in case of trouble
The several entities involved in the process make MBS a “pass-through”. Here we have 3 main entities that we’ll call “Key Players” for the purpose of this presentation which aims to provide you with a basic and simple explanation of MBS and their role in the financial crisis.
GSE’s created by the US Government in 1938
Part of FDR’s New Plan during Great Depression
Purpose: make owning property more accessible to more Americans
GSE (ex. Fannie Mae) buys mortgages (debt) from banks, & then pools mortgages into little bundles investors can buy (securitization)
Bank’s mortgage is exchanged with GSE’s cash
Created liquid secondary market for mortgages
Result:
1) Bank has more cash to lend out to people
2) Now all who want to a house (expensive) can get the money needed to buy one!
Where MBS came from & when
Yay for combatting homelessness and increasing quality of life for the common American!
Thanks Uncle Sam!
MBS have been around for a long time. Officially in the US, they have their origins in government. During the Great Depression in the 1930s, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed into creation Fannie Mae that was brought about to help ease American citizen’s difficulty in becoming homeowners. The sole purpose of a GSE thus was to not make profit, but to promote citizen welfare in regards to housing. Seeing that it was created by regulatory government powers, it earned the title of Government Sponsored Entity, which we will abbreviate as GSE. 2 other GSE’s in housing were created in later decades like Freddie Mae, to further stimulate the mortgage market alongside Fannie, and Ginnie which did a similar thing but only for certain groups of people (Veterans, etc) and to a much smaller scale.

Moral Development:
Lawrence Kohlberg developed six stages to moral behavior in children and adults. Punishment and obedience orientation, interpersonal concordance, law and order orientation, social contract orientation, and universal ethics orientation. All or even just one of these stages will make a good topic for your research paper or you could just do the research paper on Kohlberg.

Reply 1 OdellaThe difference between an employee and an indep.docx
- 1. Reply 1 Odella: The difference between an employee and an independent contractor, is how the employer pays them and how their taxes are paid. An employee is paid by the hour, salary, commission or combination of both. An employee also could get overtime. An employee receive a W-2 form, which shows their yearly income. The reason that they receive a W-2, because their employer withhold federal and state income taxes and FICA taxes, which is social security and medicare. An independent contractor is provided a 1099, the employer that they do work for does not withheld their federal, state and FICA taxes from the amount the company pay's them. An independent contractor is liable for their own income taxes, which is called self-employment. However, an independent contractor works without the legal amenities that will protect them, but an employee does. For example, wage and hour laws, workers compensation and unemployment benefits. There have been several cases, that have led to companies being penalized, by the mis-classification of their employees. When an employer mis-classify an employee, they would label he/she as an independent contractor; because this will disable the company in paying taxes on employees. Such as unemployment taxes, unemployment insurance and workers compensation. When companies mis-classify their employees, will cause an effect on the state and federal government. That is short changing them on their tax revenue by millions of dollars. With mis-classifying employees, this will be a legal and ethical issue. For instance, the reason why companies will mis-classify an employee and an independent contractor is, to save on labor costs. Labor costs is a major portion of the company. overhead. Mis-classifying workers has a big negative result at the end, for the company. For example, when a company intentionally classify employees as independent contractors; it becomes
- 2. unethical. This is a fraudulent act toward the state and federal governments. As a result, the state and federal have taken action to penalize companies, who have been mis-classifying their employees. The IRS have implemented some test in reference to decipher an employee from an independent contractor. The test consist of behavioral control, financial control and type of responsibility. Fines are generated from the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), IRS and other state agencies. Some of the fines that companies are responsible for is, back pay on taxes, interest on employees' wages and FICA taxes that were not withheld. Failure to make payments to the government, can produce additional fines. Reference Post, J. (2018, September 20). Worker Classification: What You Need to Know about Employee vs. Contractor. Retrieved from https://www.businessnewsdaily.com/770-contract-vs- employees-what-you-need-to-know.html. Reply 2 Zach: To safeguard against misclassification of workers, the IRS has compiled a list of 20 factors to help individuals and employers understand the main differences between an employee and independent contractor. The individual is an employee if they are bound by the employer to perform work in a specific manner, within certain hours, and while on the employer’s physical premises. By contrast, independent contractors retain greater freedom to accomplish the job as they deem appropriate, when it fits their schedule, and generally do so remotely. Compensation offers further distinction as employees are generally paid by the hour or period, and independent contractors generally receive payment for the completion of a
- 3. job, or straight commission. There are many significant distinctions between employees and independent contractors, but the last to note at this juncture is for whom the individual is performing work – an independent contractor generally provides the same service to a number of different firms simultaneously, while also making those services readily available to the general public. In contrast, employees are bound to provide services to a specific employer within the aforementioned confines, therefore making it impossible to provide such services to the general public. Accurately classifying employees and independent contractors is very important for IRS tax purposes. If an individual is an employee, the employer has tax responsibility on the employee’s behalf, such as withholding payroll taxes and social security contributions. Conversely, when the individual is an independent contractor and receives a 1099 to reflect their earnings, the client for whom the contractor does work does not have such a tax responsibility – that responsibility is 100% the contractor’s. Some employers have misclassified employees as independent contractors in order to avoid tax responsibility, which creates both a legal and ethical dilemma. If an individual is misclassified as an independent contractor instead of an employee, they may miss out on minimum wage and overtime compensation – which may be beneficial to the company, but certainly not for the individual. In this case, the misclassification could cost the company dearly in the long-run as it would be held liable for all the deductions that should have been withheld from the individual’s pay, including taxes, FICA and FUTA contributions, and penalties for the misclassification.
