Natalie, The entire "One Stop Motors" thing is a scam from top to bottom. They offer no real service to anyone but themselves. Period. And, you ARE NOT an independent contractor. Just because you sign an independent contractor agreement, does not make you one legally. In order to be an independent contractor you must have a real investment in the business other than your time and be able to suffer loss of investment in real money. And, you must be able to offer your services to others. Is this the case? I think not. Also, if they impose work rules or schedules on you, you are an employee. If they give you anything to do your work, you are an employee. You ARE NOT an independent contractor. You ARE an employee, by legal definition. They call you an independent contractor so they do not have to pay unemployment insurance, workmans comp insurance, and match your SS contribution. Don't believe me? Here's how you prove it. Go to the local IRS office, or go to the IRS website and get the form: "SS-8, Determination of worker status". Fill it out, keep a copy and mail it in. I can GUARANTEE you that a determination will come back that you are/were an EMPLOYEE of One Stop Motors. Help stop these scammers and criminals. Do not contribute to or enable this scam.
