I know you know, but Lawyers and/or Accountants are the people for this 
question.

If any of us tell you wrong stuff it’s still on you for believing a bunch of 
jerks on the Internet.  If lawyers tell you wrong it’s on them (at least up to 
a point).

 

In my experience, if you do do something wrong, the gov employees are going to 
be lenient as long as you have a compliant attitude and you correct it.  Like 
they don’t throw you in jail for not understanding the rules, they throw you in 
jail for establishing a pattern of acting in bad faith over time.

 

I would *assume* a 1099 worker above prevailing wage is just as ok as an 
employee above prevailing wage, but you should absolutely not believe anything 
I say.

partner is not technically and employee, but the partnership is not formal, so 
hes technically a 1099 contractor. he definitely makes over prevailing wage 
though. I just dont knw what documentation i need to show it. Or if i have to 
payroll him rather than 1099, he meets the IRS 1099 worksheet requirements

I don't think it matters how many layers are between the person working and the 
government body, the worker still has to meet those wage thresholds.

My part er is informal. I have his 1099, he gets 50 percent after expenses, one 
of those expenses is operator pay. On PW jobs am I allowed to have 1099, or 
would I have to put him on payroll? I don't have any actual payroll right now. 
Last year I ended up having my accountant stop submitting because other than my 
son I didn't have any and this year I still didn't have enout to reach back out.

I don't know anything about this stuff

Prevailing wage is the state equivalent of federal Davis Bacon.
Typically, your state's Dept of Labor maintains the schedules.
You have to get the rates and make sure the workers get paid the rate 
and then retain the documentation in case of claim or objection. Part of 
my town administrator job is running our town owned wisp.
the only workaround is hiring a sole proprietor or using your own 
laborforce.
