Who is an Independent Contractor?
(per IRS: http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=99921,00.html)
A general rule is that you, the payer, have the right to control or direct only the result of the work done by an independent contractor, and not the means and methods of accomplishing the result.
It is critical that you, the employer, correctly determine whether the individuals providing services are employees or independent contractors. Generally, you must withhold income taxes, withhold and pay Social Security and Medicare taxes, and pay unemployment tax on wages paid to an employee. You do not generally have to withhold or pay any taxes on payments to independent contractors.
Caution: If you incorrectly classify an employee as an independent contractor, you can be held liable for employment taxes for that worker, plus a penalty.
Original Message: Dress code emailed over from TC Posted by NCLisa of NC on 4/2/07 5:45pm Msg #183407
Just got a required dress code sent over from a TC I do lots of business with. It says that women are required to wear dresses or skirts and pantyhose. Women are also required to wear "full" makeup. I almost fell on the floor laughing at this. Men were required wear suit or sport slacks, and a shirt with collar, a tie is not required. I don't understand why the men are not required to wear full makeup?
