Dear everyone,
Thanks for taking out time to read this question.
I founded a research consulting company (s-corp) and found a great international student on OPT, whom I want to employ 2 days a week initially, on 1099 basis. OPT student will be placed through my s-corp at a doctors clinic that conducts research projects for pharma companies. Just to clarify, OPT is a kind of "permit" that US government gives students to do work, this student is not a green card holder or citizen of USA. He is working 1 day a week elsewhere on 1099 basis. I did my homework and found out that OPT can work more than 1 job at a time on W2, 1099, or combination. However, have a few questions:
1. Do I need to e-register or register my before offering a job to OPT (like register at the university office, or inform US government/State government)?
2. Is there anything I need to keep in mind (do not want to get in trouble with law)? Am proposing $22-25/hour on 1099 basis (independent contractor) to student on OPT.
3. Do I need to do anything in particular like EDD forms, offer workplace harrassment handout from EDD, and so on?
(note: I gather work is to be in related field of study and have confirmed indeed it is related)
Thanks so much
