Seems like if that happened the 1099 guy would want to get in touch with IRS and state and get determination saying that they are not contractor but employee. One of the primary disqualifiers for actually being a 1099 and not an employee is that you CANNOT use the employers equipment, a 1099 MUST provide their own equipment.......

Whereas if I were an employee of company A, the company itself would hold the liability. Liability I refer to as the stuck utilities compensation for loss and damage. Im trying to tell my buddy that if I or anybody is operating his equipment 1099 we are risking liability. Everybody is friends until someone wants paid for their fiber getting respooled on a boring rod or a sewage filled sinkhole shows up with a duct right through the middle of it. .

I think you might be able to name a 1099 employee as an additional insured on your liability policy. Might be better than putting it on him to get his own $5mil liability policy.

I assume a contractor with his own drill is liable, a contracted laborer im guessing would be decided by state lars on whos an employee and whos a contractor regardless of 1099, and as employee would put the liability on the company who the dig is for. does that sound right? -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com<mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com<mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com ________________________________ Total Control Panel Login<https://portal.reflexion.net/login?domain=litewire.net> To: ja...@litewire.net<https://portal.reflexion.net/address-properties?aID=242260993&domain=litewire.net> From: af-boun...@af.afmug.com<mailto:af-boun...@af.afmug.com> You received this message because the domain afmug.com is on your allow list.
