Hello I am a General Contractor in California. I have a remodeling project with a investor and I am working with him at a very low margin because the is customer has few more potential leads.
I want to control material prices better and not pay any mark up so I can keep my margin on the job. I have a contractor who is willing to take labor only contract at very reasonable hourly rates. I want to see if I can hire him as a contractor and not employee.
What are the legal and right way to so this. Does he need insurance or can I cover him under my insurance? Does he need to be licensed? Do I need to give him 1099 for this job?
