Damn man trucks go by out front and my whole damn house shakes.

[Chob]

Someone hit the abort button

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

Yeah I know, just saying I don't know if it is storming over there like it is here.

Sorry, I misread it, my bad

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

Moral of this story is this, don't hire people for cash even if a 1099 is involved I guess.

Something isn't right...I've done a lot of 1099 work. sounds like she didn't have him sign an independent contractor contract.

Bubba - "This is the problem, these ambulance chaser attorneys". Has ambulance chaser attorney on in the 7 0'clock hour earlier today

Probably. I have no idea, I've never been a 1099 before, but the guy said "I can't get a paycheck because I get S.S." So shouldn't he have balked at the first notice he would be getting a 1099, which is in essence a paycheck or at least proof of employment? Something is missing here for sure

[NeTaS]

Sounds like she payed him under the table, then sent him a 1099.

You might be right on that one. That's the risk you run when you hire people to work under the table.

[milkman]

Yep, which means it would be reported to IRS and he got pissed off. Still doesn't make it right, but hey, everyone cuts their own deal.

[NeTaS]

Shady on her part IMO.

[NeTaS]

She probably has zero proof how much he got paid also.

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

She probably has zero proof how much he got paid also.

Yep. At least if she paid him by check there would be documentation. Giving the guy an envelope with cash in it ain't gonna get you very far in court unfortunately.
