My question involves independent contractors in the state of: Ohio
Company X sends me on remote job sites to train in different health care kitchens...I wear Company X's Logos and use Company X's software. This is NOT my company as I go where they tell me and they also dictate my daily rate. My paychecks are bi monthly and are for full amount plus 25 mileage if I use my own car. Company X does not withhold taxes or insurance or SS from my paychecks and the paychecks are from Company X NOT the client. If I can't use my own vehicle (sometimes sites are 450 miles away from where I live) I pay for my own transportation in which Company X does NOT comp me for NOR do I have an expense account for meals. In fact Company X says they are not able to incorporate rental car costs into the clients fee....so I am stuck paying for all transportation whether it be train bus or plane...
Company X says I am an IC and 1099's me...
When I go to these sites I represent Company X NOT myself....
I am told where and when to go...and what I will be making.
The client pays Company X directly
Company X does however pay for my hotel if I can't stay for free at the site.
Hmmm
Am I being misclassified?
And what do I do if I am...
