Joe is a carpenter in Illinois. He takes jobs from a company that bids for insurance jobs. (Houses that have been damaged by fire, water, etc.) This company pays Joe as an independent contractor. Joe in turn hires a few people to help him with the job. The company said that they will not hire Joe for any more jobs unless he gets workman's comp. for him and whoever he hires. Now, Joe is telling his worker's, that he wants to pay them as independent sub-contractors. Currently he's paying them in cash out of the check he gets. He also is saying that he wants to take 10 percent, or $2.00 an hour out of their pay to pay for workman's compensation. What are the legal rammifications on that?
