Does anyone know how I can make sure I'm following IRS guidelines to make sure they are an independent contractor and not an employee or if there is any way to do that? I really don't want to mess with the hassle of having an employee.
I am pretty sure she would have to be an employee unless she runs her own business being a sub for other child cares. Here is Tom Copeland's blog about this. I'm sure it explains it much better.
