In general she qualifies as a 1099 contractor, but I know their are benefits to the worker if they are W2 when it comes tax time for them. How much is the cost difference to the small business to have a W2 employee? I know there are added costs like unemployment tax and workers comp. Where can I find that information so I can make the right decision? She is only working 24 hours a week at $10 an hour.&nbsp;</P> Sun, 11 Aug 2019 18:16:37 GMT https://community.squareup.com/t5/Archived-Discussions-Read-Only/Price-to-Small-Business-for-1099-vs-W2-employee/m-p/129897#M31425 Pinchingpesos 2019-08-11T18:16:37Z https://community.squareup.com/t5/Archived-Discussions-Read-Only/Price-to-Small-Business-for-1099-vs-W2-employee/m-p/129924#M31426 <P>that varies state by state and what category they qualify under for workman's comp.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>if this is the only employee and legally they would qualify under contractor you are much better off financially doing that.&nbsp; having a workman's comp policy for 1 person will be costly and the employment and medicare taxes add up.</P> Mon, 12 Aug 2019 12:42:18 GMT https://community.squareup.com/t5/Archived-Discussions-Read-Only/Price-to-Small-Business-for-1099-vs-W2-employee/m-p/129924#M31426 VanKalkerFarms 2019-08-12T12:42:18Z
