Thanks Jimmy ... I must relay that i have been in the security industry for nearly thiry years and will be departing a senior level job to hit the road and enjoy life. w/ that said, I understand the complexities and the safety world around the petro industry.
Hard work isnt a problem for me -- was just wondering if its ppossible to be hired as a single and if its possible for a single to handle such work.
Sounds to me like it is doable - just be ready for an inconsistent day - all the way from sleeping to eating
Appreciate ya

It is uncommon to hire "security officers as 1099 employees." However, the private securtiy industry hires Law Enforcement/Police at customer request and classifies them as Sub-Contractors/1099 employees all day long. I can say that i have NEVER heard a single one of them have a problem w/ the IRS as long as they FILE CORRECTLY.
No idea how it would impact you LLC - beyond me!
Think of it this way --- If the kid that is mowing your yard every couple of weeks is placed on your company records as PAID SUB CONTRACT LABOR --- he darn well better file what you paid him at the end of the year OR Mr. IRS may knock on his door one day. I realize this is a stretch scenario - but, it cuts down a lot of trees and gets to the root which is; the companies compensating you as a sub will end up turning the wages paid into the IRS and they will be looking for your SSN so UNCLE SAM can get his share.
Well, this is my 2 cents anyway
lol
Enjoy all

Yes we are considered employees.

Very simple, if the contract or agreement you sign with a company that is hiring you as a sub contractor or IC contains language that has implications or even references employee than that can be interpreted that your not an IC but an employee.
The question isn't if you pay taxes it is the company hiring you trying to bypass paying it's share of taxes and meeting the minimum wage requirement for an employee.

So, that being said, after the lawsuit, the tax implications would be against GGS. The gate guards would actually profit if the Minmum Wage ruling is upheld.
Do not be afraid to go to work for GGS. They are a very large company and have excellent equipment and good service people.
There are many other gate guard companies around and some also would be good to work for. There are at least 3 companies that I would not work for, but I will not name them or say bad things against them because everyone's situation is different.
You just have to decide for yourself which company best fits your needs.

GGS is not a company I would choose to work for based on our personal experiences. I would strongly suggest and encourage those who are considering the work of a gate guard to do extensive research with respect to the different companies. The gate guard company's support, or lack thereof, is a major factor in one's ability to perform their duties as a gate guard.

Why badmouth GGS just because you yourself had a bad experience?

Blonde, reference "the Gate Guards will make out because of minimum wage." In my opinion, NO! As a contractor you agree to perform a function for "X." if you perform that function for less than minimum wage then you did it they didnt. NOW, I MUST SAY ... I REALLY DONT THING ANYONE IS WORKING FOR LESS THAN MINIMUM WAGE ARE WE???? .... let figure on the butt time, etc... with out getting long winded.
In short, they are getting a bad deal in my opinion
once again, my 2 cents
