HR Compliance Q&A: Can the Same Person be a W2 Employee and 1099 Contractor?

HR Compliance, HR Support Center

HR Compliance Q&A

According to IRS guidelines, it is possible to have a W-2 employee who also performs work as a 1099 independent contractor so long as the individual is performing completely different duties that would qualify them as an independent contractor.

Timekeeping Solution Feature List CTASome legitimate examples that we have seen of this circumstance are:

  • A Receptionist also owns a cleaning service business with their spouse. The company contracts with the team to perform janitorial services after hours for the office.
  • A Sales Manager also performs graphic design work for several local businesses after hours. The company contracts with the individual to create a new logo for the company. 
  • A Maintenance Technician also owns a fabricating business of their own. The company contracts with the individual to fabricate equipment for the company. 

An employee owning their own business is not a requirement, but rather one of the factors to consider when determining if someone may be properly classified as an independent contractor. If you feel confident in the IRS criteria on the whole, you may classify their separate work as independent contractor work. But, be sure! It is widely believed among tax professionals that having a worker receive both a W-2 and 1099 increases the likelihood of an IRS audit.
