Is my employment status contractor (1099) or employee (W-2)?
HelloSubs utilizes both the W-2 & 1099 models depending on which state you live in.
Colorado based workers are 1099 contractors. When you request a job you'll see that you're paid the regular daily rate + a contractor premium of 7.65%. This premium is intended for you to set aside and use for payroll taxes which you'll need to pay yourself when you file or remit taxes. Additionally, you'll want to set aside a portion of your earnings for state and federal income taxes. At the end of the year you'll be issued an IRS from 1099 showing your earnings for the year.
Workers in all other states are W-2 employees. In this case, HelloSubs remits your payroll and income taxes on your behalf. At the end of the year you are issued an IRS form W-2 for your tax filing.
In either case you'll enjoy the freedom and flexibility of setting your schedule and working when you please. HelloSubs also maintains workers compensation insurance regardless of your worker status. You are paid by HelloSubs every Friday via direct deposit (physical checks are not available). Your timesheets must be submitted each week via the mobile or web application so that we can correctly calculate your weekly pay.
