Most work at home “employees”
are actually considered Independent Contractors. While there are some
companies that will hire you as an actual “employee” (and these
companies are on our work from home companies pages), who WILL provide standard employment
benefits such as vacation and health insurance, most companies are
looking to hire Independent Contractors (also known as IC’s). An
Independent Contractor is simply an employee who assumes all
responsibility for their own taxes (taxes are NOT taken out of your
check), who does not receive standard employee benefits, and who signs
a contract with the company saying that they will represent the
company professionally, will work a certain number of hours each week
or month (depending upon the company’s requirements), has all the
required equipment, has a work space set aside in the home that is
quite with no pet or child noise in the background, and who has all
the required experience and skill sets, etc…
As an Independent Contractor,
you will get to set your own hours. You will be able to work as many
hours as you want as long as you meet the minimum required hours (can
be anywhere from 10 hours per month to 20 hours per week). You will
be able to sign on with more than one company, thus giving you more
“security”.
Being an Independent Contractor
myself, I highly recommend it. Be sure to check with your tax
consultant for any specific tax requirements for your state. For
example, some states might require you to have a business license
before you can become in Independent Contractor.
