Just wow. This is terrible. You don't understand the difference between a statutory employee and independant contractor. If you are an employee, the company is required by law to withhold taxes and pay you regularly. Every state in the U.S. has an agency that will take and prosecute wage claims. People have gone to jail for messing with witholding taxes. If you just invoice, you are effectively an independant contract, they might not pay you, and you are on the hook for paying your taxes. A big difference. |

It astonishes me that anyone could be so ignorant as to say there is nothing wrong with making people invoice you. As you've correctly stated, it's a completely different relationship. Even the liability is different.
If you're a contractor and the guy who signs your checks says "nice ass! Now shut up and do your work" He's pretty much just pissed you off and as a self-employed contractor, you're free to decline and move on to another "client". If that same person is your employer, he's broken several civil laws and in most jurisdictions, committed an actual crime.
We could both go on for hours on the differences which is why this whole thing amazes me.
