>Right on! The dealer pays worker comp on employees, not subcontractors for >the privilege of working. Still, I'd get hold of a CPA or tax lawyer. > >Wally There are certain rules that determine whether or not a person can be classified as a subcontractor. A few of them as I recall are: Do work for others. Set their own schedule. Use their own tools. If you regularly do work for others (private customers or other dealers), are set up in your own business and come in to this dealer to do PianoDisk installations as needed I think you have a pretty good case. Would a painter have to pay workmans comp to the dealer if he was coming in to paint the store? He has to do the work at the store, much like it's more practical for you to do the install at the dealers. My advice as mentioned to others would be to talk with an expert in this area to find out what qualifications there are that you have to meet and THEN build a case why you qualify under these qualifications. -- Glenn Grafton Grafton Piano & Organ Co. 1081 County Line Rd.
