They don't have a rate. That's the whole point. A W2 employee has to have a rate, hourly/annual/weekly/etc. They have a salary or rate. A 1099 is the only way you can charge per project instead of per rate. When you determine how much you get paid for the project you yourself pick and start is irrelevant to whether you're independent and 1099. In fact if you include contractors working on your house repairs, you have an estimate and agree on the total well into the project. paid per project you choose yourself =contractor. salary or rate =employee. determining how much you get paid has nothing to do with employee or not. in fact, as I keep stating, not knowing how much you get paid literally makes you not an employee.

Each individual ride has a price/rate, and the workers of Uber can't set their own rates. Yeah, I know workers don't have a single hourly wage. Pointing that out doesn't obscure the fact that Uber and Lyft dictate completely the most important aspect of working for them. This is totally different from the idea of working as an independent contractor both in spirit and legally.

  You determining how much you will pay someone for a project you wa't done does not make him a contractor, but it does make him your employee. Gotcha. I think this conversation is pointless, because you don't know the requirements for being an employee, and are assumint that if something doesn't fit your made up definition of contractor, you're an employee by default. This is quite false. Knowing how much you get paid does not make you a contractor. It makes you an employee. The logic you are using to prove someonenis an emoloyee is what is actually proving they are a contractor. I won't read your reply, because this conversation is stuck in a loop of you proving yourself wrong with the same statement. I wish we could just block people on here. That is what would increase quality of content, instead of ding-dong-dang using this forum to make himself feel better about his loser life.
