OT: Scared, good post. I have seen many cases where employers have paid their workers as 1099's or under-the-table to avoid Workmen's Compensation Insurance.

This is especially true in the construction idustry where WCI can run as high as 100% of the workers salary (e.g. roofers).

I've seen cases where the roofer gets injured and files a claim against the company's WCI policy and the employer has to pay years of back insurance premiums because the worker was not an independent contractor.

And of course if the employee was being paid cash he has a big problem with the IRS if he wasn't reporting it as income.
