we're conducting a survey on job websites and
CV banks/databases, and I was hoping You could
give us a helping hand on this. What we're trying
to achieve is a top list of the most popular job
advertising websites and CV banks by location
and industry. Similar surveys have been done for
some regions (e.g. UK) with very narrow focus,
but we hope to produce more useful list of tools
for recruiters and resourcers. The categories are
as follows. What we would like to ask you to do,
is to name the top 5 in each category that you use.
You can post the list totally anonymous if that's
what you prefer. Thank you in advance!
If you want to have the final list to your inbox,
do let me know and I'll post it directly to you when
all done. The list will of course be totally free,
this is a general survey without a catch or profit in mind.

Also review the IRS 20 point rule to determine the behavioural as well as financial aspects of your company relationship with this contractor. Your lawyer should be helping you with that. I also suggest that you review your contractor population and determine which ones of them are independent contractors. It might be a good idea to audit and make this determination to be prepared for any other similar situations. Good Luck!http://www.staffbucks.com/forum/index.php?a=vtopic&t=3Project or Staffing2007-08-30T03:50:57Z2007-08-28T08:21:03ZHello,
When you do a project, you take delivery responsibility and the understanding of milestones to be delivered is clarified with the client. When you do staffing you just provide resources and there is no SOW or understanding involved. Nature of contracts is extremly different also. Intelligent clients understand the differences and use the right vendors in the right way. A lot really depends on the maturity of the organization. Hope this helps!

This type of situation typically happens when the contractor is independent contractor and is himself responsible for invoicing and paying taxes. There are two situations here:
- Classification Risk - Which means IRS can accuse the company to keep a employee as contractor. The penelty could be severe and can include paying all taxes that should have been cut at source. This can also trigger audits of Contractor Management Practices for the company.
- Co-Emloyment Risk: The company runs into the risk of being a co-employer of the consultant which means the individual can claim benefits as already being provided to full time employees. A recent case of Microsoft is on similar lines (google and you can read the background).
Hope this helps!
