RS 02101.062 Working for More Than One Person or Firm at a Time

CITATIONS:

IRS Revenue Ruling 70-572

A. Employee status if working for more than one person or firm

An employee usually performs services for only one person or firm at a time. However, a person may work for a number of people or firms and still be an employee of one or all of them because he or she works under the control of each firm. For example, a bookkeeper may perform services for four firms, 2 hours every workday on each firm's premises, and be controlled and directed by all of them.

B. Independent contractor status if working for more than one person or firm

A person who works for a number of people or firms at the same time is ordinarily not an employee. Work for a number of people or firms at the same time usually indicate an independent contractor status because the worker is free from control by all of the people or firms.

C. Reference

Social Security Handbook, section 820 : Do you work for more than one person or firm at the same time?
