- Contractors may perform services for other companies and customers.
- Compensation is project-based and agreed upon before the project is accepted.
- Contractors submit invoices for completed work.
- Contractors are responsible for their own federal and state tax obligations, insurance, operating expenses, tools, transportation, helpers, and business records.
- No employee benefits, paid time off, overtime, payroll tax withholding, or guaranteed continuing work are provided.
- A completed W-9 and signed independent-contractor agreement are required before accepting projects.
