What is the name of your state? California
I have worked as a short-term temporary employee on 180-day yearly contracts with San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools for three years. I have a Ph.D. and want to continue to work for SBCSS, but only as an independent consultant, not an employee. My immediate supervisor was told by personnel that, although she wants to hire me as a consultant, it will make SBCSS suspect in the eyes of the IRS for not hiring me as an employee after 3 years (although this is not what I wish).
The issue before me is whether or not I have a right to work in any capacity I wish, as long as the individuals with whom I conduct business want to work with me. Does SBCSS have the right to demand that I either be hired as an employee or be ineligable for compensation as an independent contractor. Both my supervisor, my department manager, and the division assistant superintendent want to work with me on my terms, but are limited by personnel.
