Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
It would probably be easier to 1099 them. Especially if they are remote and using their own computer to work from. I'd of course ask our accountant and payroll company before assuming this is correct.
So, I just got the word. It seems this Co. is good with me living in TN and working remotely for them but Not Alabama. They have TN Titans licensing and stores. So they are already established with employees there. That works! I’ll be making a move about 30 min away from where I’m at now to getting a residence in TN here shortly. I’ll be full time with this Co. in a few wks. Very happy with this move! Right up my skill set alley. It may be the final company I work for hopefully.
