LINGUIST RECLASSIFICATION
Frequently asked questions
See our most frequently asked questions below
HOW DOES NY STATE DEFINE A 1099 INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR?
The list of criteria that determines who IS or IS NOT an independent contractor is set by the NYS Department of Labor.
HOW DO I APPLY TO GET AN EIN (EMPLOYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER)?
Getting an EIN is the first and most important step in identifying yourself as a true Independent Contractor. Information on this process can be found on the IRS website.
HOW WILL THIS IMPACT MY RATE?
Hourly rates will be set by the agency, not the linguist, & will be significantly impacted (average between 30-40% reduction from your current negotiated hourly rate) as there is a consequential cost via payroll taxes and benefits that now need to be shared.
