I was told by my auditor that regardless of whom I give a 1099 to, it will increase my payroll thus increase my policy. Even if they are 1099'd there is still a chance of injury and going after me and my workmans comp policy.
And after speaking to a friend and fellow ex contractor last night I can give a prime example. He was working as a 1099 figure with no comp on himself. While painting he fell down a non working elevator shaft after his ladder gave out, was pronounced dead on the scene. Resuscitated and survived through a coma 9 days and a leg amputation. His lawyer went after the company that hired him as there was OSHA issues and he received a settlement of 1.2million.
