The company I work at pays a lowish rate for our 10 hour take home project, which is also the last step of the interview process. I think this is a great practice, as this shows that we're taking this seriously and are willing to compensate for your time.

- sk5t 7y agoDoes your company then issue 1099 forms (assuming US taxation)?
- boring_twenties 7y agoThey might not have to if it's a "lowish" (quoting GP) enough rate. I believe the threshold is $500-600 per annum, so if they're paying you $50 per hour for the interview, no 1099 needed.
- SkyPuncher 7y ago$600 is the cutoff for requiring a tax form to be issued.
