What's BETTER... a Sub Contractor or a W-2 Employee?

Jose should start his own company.

a good subcontractor like me prioritizes timelines

🔥

Horrible explanation!

Hey! New subscriber here! I run a small landscaping company here in the UK. I'm really struggling to find people to work for me. You did inspire me to rent a unit to store all of my tools. £130 a month, 24 hours 7 days access with toilet and cctv, a huge unit. I'm about to buy my first van and a large rotavator! I'm proud but struggling to find people...any help or advice?

I’m surprised you guys only work 40hrs. Typically see construction people work 50+.

Yo momma tigran

Do you do overtime for your guys?

as a employee definitely W-2
only go sub if u got a LLC so u don’t pay uncle sam

Do you hire blacks and white guys, I only see Spanish guys on you job sites?

Californium you can’t trust anyone that is why you need contract

A sub works harder than a w2 .

T what kind of shirt do you have on? I’m placing a bulk order for the business I like the look of the white shirts

Thanks broo now i know why i have a 1099 on my returns an whos doing the frouad.!

Tigran is the perfect example of a narcissist.

W2 employee Only want to work 8 hrs and take multiple breaks , A Sub will work 8+ Hrs to get the job done

All illegal immigrants

Not even trying to hate but u always say u pay a livable wage. These guys live in the bay u only work 40 hrs ? At 35 bucks an hr. Thats not a livable wage. Your ridding around in g wagons these guys are sharing a car. I make 165 to 185 k in ca and its not enough at times

Dang I live near you would be cool to meet you !!

Tigrans the man. He's still learning the jam. But knows whats up lol.

Tigran, very informative tips to run a clean business, there is a reason why you are very successful. Sugestión, can you share a video of how is for a landscaper to work under 95-105 degrees of heat, tips for the youngsters.

where do you find contractors for your service business?

The contract issue definitely blows my mind i can’t believe companies don’t always do it I’m just starting my electrical company and I do contracts for everything no matter how small it is I do it

Id take either or at this point. I cant keep help longer than a couple days. These kids cant and dont want to work hard.

I R S isn't government, private scam

Great vibe tho

im a framing contractor brotha, can i see your contract

hook me up with the contracts program please my guy

What if you find good subs just like you found good workers 🤔

Awesome keep up the good work. Helps a lot of people understand 👷‍♂️💵💵💵💵💵

Some of my guys are 1099 workers, I teach them how to invest an offset their tax liability. They also have the option to make more money as a full time employee. I have been with the same guys for quite some time now and I’m always on the job with them, we get it done faster and everyone makes more money

You forgot about how sometimes the subcontractor can be better than the company. Once, while I was working for a company on a patio project, a subcontractor on-site provided correct directions when the company failed to do so. Together, we solved the issue. However, when the boss arrived, he was furious about the potential loss of money and showed little concern for doing what was right. Taking responsibility, I informed him that the mistake was mine, which ultimately cost me a week's salary. Nevertheless, I decided to quit on the spot. If you're a homeowner, I strongly recommend hiring someone you can trust, as many companies prioritize profit over quality work and integrity. Remember, if you still care for humanity, always pursue what is the right thing to do, because it will eventually pay off."

Framing is just underestimated but why not do it your self ? 😂

What happens if you hire a sub and they don’t have a license. Could you get hit with back taxes or workers comp insurance backlogs?

You offer Contract program? Please tell me more

Hi Tee, I’m reaching out to you, to see if you can help me out with the contract that you use.

My best,

I see it differently. Any "business" that 1099s their workers is shady. I would never work for one. So big props to T for paying his guys plus OT when required, pto, vacation, guarantees hours.

You're not paying a Subby $1000 it's more like $2000 😮 that's why you prefer wage slaves. They are considerably cheaper labour

This man really said, I aint doing jack sh!t, let me get some mexicans to do it instead for cheap. Lame ass boss.

I work as a 1099 for a subcontractor for Comcast as a cable technician. If I were to switch and become a direct employee of Comcast, I'd probably have to get divorced and ditch my apartment because I wouldnt be able to support neither

I average like 60/hr as a 1099. The employee technicians for Comcast top out at like 30/hr max for top and most experienced technicians. The employees do get benefits and gas paid, etc, but still that doesnt justify 30/hr...

So from my point of view, and in this specific field and this specific employer, 1099 is the way to go. Ofcourse it differs from technician to technician. If you're efficient, you want to be 1099. If you want to take your time and you have lots of health problems, then employee. But at the end of the day, some of the 1099 for Comcast I know make close to 6 figures and live in luxury apartments and have at least one luxury vehicle

The taxes are also easy to write off. Obviously its borderline illegal, but for example, on my 90k 1099 last year I only paid 4k in taxes. I actually did not have any business expenses aside from gas, but you can make everything up from tools to physical cable and all that, when in reality Comcast gives you all that stuff for free in infinite quantity

If someone works solely for you by the hour and you tell them when where and how to do the work. Supply and material and tools. They are your employee. Lots of Contractors want to act like a boss, but without taking responsibility for the liability of taxes, workers comp, insurance, retirement, healthcare, paid sick leave, vacation time.
