I started my own firm as an independent agent reselling merchant services (aka, credit card processing) here in Phoenix in 2020. Now, I’m looking to hire a team, about 10 sales reps that will be all 1099 for now.

I’m debating going through the expense of hiring our training a lawyer. Is that necessary?

I’m also considering using ADP for payroll and HR services. Anybody have experience with them?

    Talk to your accountant too. You can’t just make anybody a 1099 contractor. There are specific IRS rules surrounding it, right down to your management style and any training you may or may not provide.

    The last thing you want is the IRS knocking on your door next year looking for back payroll taxes you didn’t pay just because you thought 1099 status was okay.
