Hoping for some guidance. I recently came across this issue. I'm not sure where to start from a research perspective.
Say you're viewing this issue from an employer's perspective. An employee approaches you and requests to paid as a contractor. What are the risks as an employer for agreeing to this arrangement?
If both parties agree the relationship, is there any issue with this arrangement being reported as contractor vs. employee?
I was thinking if relationship soured, the "employee" could say they were an employee all along. Is there any recourse for the employer in this circumstance?
