Eric, I don't know specifics of Washington State Employee payroll stuff, but (In California) classifying payroll under 'internal marketing ' can save (as percent of total wages):
3.5 percent on Unemployment Insurance, 7.51 percent on FICA, 3--> 25 percent on State Compensation Insurance, and basically you can have "internal marketing contractors" sign a contract, tell them to work their own hours, but give them a schedule anyway, tell them this is *the job*, and they need to provide their own Worker's compensation insurance, In California The worker's compensation alone can eat you alive especially in certain Highly Physical Less Skilled Job Classifications,,,,, (California Workers' Compensation Insurance is a Cancer) |
