Most government jobs or sub-contract jobs require that you report the number of hours / rate / earnings/ benefits that were paid and provided to each worker that worked on a specific job. The contract generally requires you to submit the information on a specific form or format.  Ask the client for a blank form or request details on their requirements. There is usually a department within the company that is responsible for collecting, checking and reporting these. It's regulated by the government to ensure employers are paying the minimum wage required for that job.

To set up a federal tax ID number (also called an Employer Identification Number, or EIN), contact your nearest Local IRS Field Office, or call the IRS Business and Specialty Tax Hotline at 800-829-4933.\n\nThe form you'll need to fill out is IRS From SS-4 and you can download it directly from the SBA Web site.\n\nIf your business does not have employees, the IRS recommends you label the top of the form SS-4 "For Identification Purposes Only."

Contact the licensing agent in your county or state. They can tell you the licensing requirements. You can also check with some of the technical or community colleges in your state to see if they have classes or certification courses for becoming a general contractor, and see what they require. In many states, the only requirement is becoming licensed. Many people in this field start out as general labor for construction companies and work their way up.

Price per hour is like signing over a blank check.  Contractors can stretch jobs out for months.  It is better to have a well laid contract stating the work to be done, materials that will be used, deadline for completion, and most importantly that the contractor is insured and bonded along with his workers in case of an accident.  If you have a contractor that is not bonded or insured and they or one of their workers are injured on your property they can sue.
