He would really need to use his own equipment to legally sub it to him. If you pay him to use your equipment he's basically an employee.

One way I would think would work but I would talk to a lawyer about it is to lease your equipment to him. He then would be in charge of the equipment, scheduling,insurance, expenses, and doing his own books, which is legal. You would need insurance for the work and make sure it also covers subcontractors.

Good Luck, many people cheat and just act as he is a sub while by law he is a employee. It's all fine and dandy until a person gets caught or a accident happens.

HHHHHHHHmmmmmmmmmmmmmm maybe workmans comp is better .

 

lease him the business

 

i'm no lawyer but maybe letting him in as a partner would be an option?

i really have no idea but it would seem to me if he were a partner you wouldn't need workers comp.

 

im in the same boat as i am scheduled to deploy with my national guard unit next year.

 

Just make him use his own truck and give him a 1099. Make sure that he is clear that he is a subcontractor and has to pay his own taxes. His truck is his tool for the job. Im sure some will argue but if it were me thats what I would do since he is a family member. Oh ya by the way check your laws ...it may be different then it is in texas.

Hmmm...I manage a nationally signed band that will be releasing a cd in all major stores this September. 40 shows a year isn't a lot...that's weekend warrior stuff...less than 4 shows a month. Why do you need to walk from the business if you're being flown in and out from shows? I could see if you were driving to and from.

 

Our band is growing . going to south america to Chili in december ....:dancing:

 

we did over 55 shows this year , mostly all high end , high profile stuff . Believe me , this is NO week-end warrior band !!!!

 

Well, don't get me wrong now...

But seeing how it ain't the first time I thought I was going to hit the jackpot in this life,
I thought to tell you, until you see a picture of your face on the cover of RockStar
magazine, you might want to hang on to your daytime job another week or two.

I'm just saying, slow down a little because...
Anyhow, long story short lets just say I'm glad I didn't hang my own lawn mower out to pasture just yet.
One other thing...
It's Chile.
You hanging out in Santiago, hablas Español, or what?

Take it easy, and good luck with the band.
