Depends on your terms of hiring. Are you classifying them as emplyees or independant contractors?

Depends on the state you live in.  However, in general if you are being paid by the company, either have them re-contract with you or hire you.  If it is a company with 50 or more employees, they would have to communicate with you on your status.  Most companies will try and get away with things like this if you let them.  i.e. since your are not an employee they won't have to pay workers comp insurance etc.  Don't let them jerk you around.

1099-G would mean that you are a contractor. This makes you responsible for the taxes and fees as none were held for you.

Is this your problem?\nShould it not be for the Contractor to take up with your boss?

These look like dice.com monikers.\n\nCON_CORP means that you are a self-employed contractor set up as an S-Corporation for tax purposes.  They pay you on an arrangement that is called "Corp-to-Corp".  The corporate directors (which would probably be you) are responsible for paying all taxes.\n\nCON_IND means that you are a self-employed contractor.  The company (or contracting agency) will pay you and report the payments on a 1099-MISC form to the IRS.  You are responsible for making quarterly tax payments to the IRS.\n\nBe aware that under either of these situations, you may be subject to higher taxes, called self-employment tax, which is both employee and employer parts of social security and medicare tax.  The self-employment tax was 15.3% in 2005.

It depends on the employment contract you signed when you were hired. The "fine print" should clearly tell you what you are entitled to.

Never hurts to ask.  Be prepared to tell them why.  Has the going rate for contractors in your area of expertise increased?  Has the services you provide changed or the scope of those services changed or not?  If you ask for more than the going rate, the company may get bids from other contractors who are willing to provide the service for less.

you have to be hired by some firm.

Some of the companies that advertise this as a paying job are exploiters or scammers. Becareful if they ask for money upfront to send you the package info to get this type of work. Some are just low paying in that it's per envelop and it works out to less than minimum wage.

If you don't even know if you'll need a footer, I'd recommend passing this one up. You're looking at a lot of liability, not to mention possibly running afoul of contractor laws if you're unlicensed to perform the work.

If you got officially hired you are due your Pay. They will probably mail it or hand it to you when you have your exit papers signed

I would call a lawyer for a free counsutation about this. They may be charging you because you were directly involved in the jobs, doing the work.

Contact the Better Business Bureau in your area.  They should have information on the contractor.

First you need a name for your new management company, second you need employees and names and phone numbers of different kind of contractors like plumbers, electricians, basically any kind of contractor that is needed for apartment repairs.\n\nAlso all contractors that you find should have 24 Hour emergency service, as you never know when a apartment that your company manages needs a service visit.\n\nThird thing you need is good quality advertising in the local yellow pages telephone directory.

Sure, if you're exempt.  Generally they have to pay you but even that's not mandatory.  Only if you're non-exempt is that illegal.  Though they may not fire you, it will sure reflect on your performance review.\n\nAnd while, at the beginning, exempt employees applied to managers and business leaders who presumably got bonuses for delivering on time, now exempt employees can be just about anyone.\n\nThe only real check is that if a company insists on working employees without pay or incentives or at least comp time, eventually employees will leave.  I suggest, if they continue with the practice, or even if they don't, you look for a new job.

If you are considered Self-employed, i.e. your employer condisders you an independent contractor and does not withhold taxes, you must make estimated tax payments quarterly on form 1040ES.  When filing taxes annually, you must include the Form 1040SE, which is your self-employment tax.  When you are employed by someone who with holds tax, that employer pays half of your fica tax.  Now that you are an independent contractor you must pay the full 15% Fica tax.  (you are able to deduct half of the Self-employment (FICA) tax towards your adjusted gross income thus reducing your tax liability.)
