To me it's cut and dried the differences between employee -vs- sub-contractor, but can understand how the line can be a grey area sometimes.
How does a contractor protect himself in the event of an accident occurred by the sub-contractor? What if the sub-contractor comes back to say he was an employee and not a s-contractor?
What if the sub-contractor is under or not insured?
I want to be able to outsource work more, but also want to make sure I'm protected in the event an accident occurs where I'm not liable... or should not be liable.
I'll have my own insurance and protection for my regular help, but it's the sub's or independent contractors I'm inquiring about.
Your advice, opinions, etc, are appreciated.
