Episode 90: 1099 Independent Contractor or W-2 Employee: Breaking Down the Difference with Rich, Javier, and Dustin
This episode threw quite a curveball at us, we were on our way to Long Beach and were prepared to record our final stop of the live tour when we found out that the city was recommending to not have large group gatherings. We decided it was in the best health interest for everyone if we canceled the event. We were pretty bummed about it but we adjusted and changed it to a Facebook Live, as well as an epic podcast episode. We turned our Air BNB into a recording studio and off we went! We sat down with our good friends Rich Gallo of Pure Swim, Javier Payan of Payan Pools, and Dustin Anderson of Precision Aquatics to discuss 1099 Independent Contractors and W-2 Employees. With the new AB-5 Law coming out in California, there have been a lot of questions surrounding this topic and we wanted to shed some light on what it means and how to adjust to it if necessary.
All 3 of the guests, as well as us, have dealt with both independent contractors and employees so during the episode we share our experiences. The overall goal of this podcast was to define each one so that businesses could figure out where they fit into the conversation and help make the transition if necessary. There is a lot of negative talk surrounding this, but we tried to stay positive and make suggestions that will overall make the industry better. When we were running Brothers Pool Service this topic was always being discussed between us and since we started Pool Chasers, it has been one of the most asked for topics. We hope you get a better understanding of it and get as much out of this episode as we did.
