Tips for the Trades
- The
Tax Trap - “The 1099”! If you think you’re getting a good deal on a
‘1099’ think again! Right off the top you pay your withholding tax AND
your boss’s share, too.
- If you get hurt on the job will he cover you with workers comp, or will he forget your name?
- Does he use your status against you in other ways, like paying straight time after 40 hours?
- The abuse of the ‘1099’ is bad for you and it is wrecking the industry.

- Prevailing
Wage Cheating - The Stubs are Not Enough! You know you’ve got money
coming. Your $15 - $20 per hour is not close to what is posted on the
public works job you are on. Be aware that keeping your pay stubs is
rarely enough to get back pay. Government agencies are going to need to
get beyond “he said/she said.” It is extremely important to keep a log
of the hours you work, your pay rate, and where you worked in order to
get back pay. Keep a log!
