When working with independent contractors, many small business
owners prefer to hire full-time staff members. Independent
contractors have some advantages. The ability to vary hours worked,
pay by project, and not have to pay when work isn’t available are
all examples of flexibility. Instead of creating a new department
within your company to handle non-essential tasks like IT and
maintenance, outsource them—easy termination of the relationship
without going through the hassle of terminating a team member.
Contractors do not have to pay Social Security and Medicare taxes.
The hiring process will be simplified, with less paperwork, less
reporting, and fewer payments to the IRS.
