Exchange ideas about sourcing, screening, interviewing, finding passive candidates, measuring your results, and more.
Do any of you hire temporary employees direct (not through an agency)? If so, do you have them sign a contract of any sort?
Thanks!

Whoa! I think you're confusing temp employees with 1099 contract employees. They're totally different animals in most cases.
1099 independent contractors must, as you say, meet IRS guidelines in order to qualify. Such guidelines include amount of control the hiring organization has over their work, providing resources to accomplish the work, etc. Typically, a 1099 employee does not work onsite and there is no control over the contractors work other than to establish work output deliverables such as time, quantity, quality, etc. Temp employees are just that - temporary workers for a fixed length of time who, unlike 1099 employees, typically work onsite under company direction. Whether or not they are operating under a contract or employment agreement or temporary offer is irrelevant. However, the hiring organization must be sensitive to the MicroSoft case as I think you're pointing out. You can have these employees act like regular employees, but only for a relatively short period such as 6 months. Any longer and you do run into co-employment, but not IRS, issues. |
