Legal Question in Employment Law in Tennessee

Re: 1099 worker

The distinction between being an independent contractor (1099 employee) and a regular employee (W-2 employee) does not lie in the amount of money paid to the employee. Rather, the distinction lies, in part, in the degree of control the employer exercises over the manner in which the employee does the work. There are a number of other factors that are included in this analysis. The Department of Labor maintains a web page discussing these factors. If you would like to schedule a consultation to discuss this issue, I can be contacted at [email protected].
