I recently got a job at a used car dealer. During the hiring process, I was told I would be paid under a 1099, even though I'm not an independent contractor. I was only able to get my pay under W-2 by insisting I could not take the job otherwise, but it's my understanding that all of the other employees are paid under 1099. There may be legitimate independent contractors working in the repair shop, but I find it hard to believe all of them are. It's only my second week, and I'm unsure if I should do anything or not. I only have a basic grasp of 1099 vs. a W-2, so I could just be paranoid.
