Legal Question in Employment Law in Illinois

my boss is 1099'd me. I have no federal tax ID # as needed to be self-employed. I use his equipment to work with too. I feel there's something wrong with this payroll set-up?

You're right--there probably is something wrong. But your lack of a tax id number and use of his tools are not the only factors we look at when evaluating whether an employee has been misclassified as an independent contractor.

By misclassifying you, your employer does not provide workers compensation insurance, pay into unemployment insurance, and much more. Please contact us if you'd like to discuss your situation.
