[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They're probably flouting IRS rules by hiring you as an independent contractor. It doesn't sound like you meet the definition of an independent contractor. IRS has been cracking down on this. You could report them (anonymously?) and they'll be forced to take you on as an employee (or fire you.)[/quote]
I know a company that hires its contractors through other firms. For example, the Company has a contract with the Firm, and the Firm has a contract with an independent contractor ("IC"). IC works full time from the office and on the equipment of the Company, performing the duties of a regular Company's employee for years. However on paper, the IC isn't in any way related to the Company because he/she has a contract with the Firm. IC definitely isn't an employee of the Firm because they only communicate a couple times a month exchanging invoices, but how would that be possible to prove that an IC is an employee of the Company, if they don't share any employment paperwork at all?
