A 1099 does not always mean you are an independent contractor.
Learn what may matter most when deciding whether someone is an employee or independent contractor.
In this Lawyers in the House short, attorney Jeff Beaird explains why forms alone may not determine your worker classification in Georgia. You’ll learn why control over the work - including who tells you when to be there, what to do, and how long to do it - can be a key factor.
Main points:
• Why a 1099 may not settle the issue
• Why control over the work matters
• Why worker classification depends on multiple factors
