I started a seasonal business last year, and my employees get paid per foot for install of the product. This is only seasonal, about 3 months out of the year, but they can make upwards of $600-$800 per day if they install enough. They are 1099 employees right now, but I want to put in place company policies to make installs more effecient and safe. Another reason I would like to go W2 is so I can start offering benifits to them. Since this is only a seasonal gig, I need to compensate well and have perks to keep people coming back to work every year. If I do that will I need to make my employees W2 employees? If so, will overtime pay be required for W2 employees if they are getting paid per foot of install? Most weeks during the season they work 60+ hours, however they are already compensated very well and I cant afford to pay overtime pay on top of what they are already making. I’m just wanting to know what the best way to go about this is? What are pros and cons of w2 vs 1099?
