I'm a private chef and very occasionally I hire a server to help execute an event.
The dept of labor has deemed these people to be my employees and I am in the process of disputing it. I believe we have a very strong case.
However, these questions can hang in the air for a significant amount of time. So I n the meantime, I am faced with the decision of how to engage these servers for events.
I don't want to proceed in the manner that is already in question. (I call a third party who books the server for me, but I pay the server.)
I prefer to avoid using a staffing agency, as it kills a margin in my business.
i am inclined to set up a payroll service and be compliant.
So here's my question:
Would setting up a payroll imply to the pending judgement that I'm admitting what I had been doing was wrong?
