Odd that he calls himself a contractor yet says “my company”.
Probably the same situation as my wife had. Working at a nursing home full time but for a different company than the nursing home. Gibbs Care Center was the place and Health Care Services Group was who she worked for. The latter handled laundry, housekeeping and kitchen staff with the former handling admin and nursing staff.
Still makes him an employee, just for a company other than the local concern. The company my wife worked for, Health Care Services Group, provided services for small nursing homes all over the country. She got bi-weekly paychecks and a W2 from them. I was self employed once and had to fill out 1099s and received W9s at the end of the year. That’s a contractor.
A semantics faux pas. I am 1099ed but work through an agency.
