Good afternoon RV'ers,
I just read some of the contract labor post. I will be contacting my lawyer this week to figure out what the correct way to hire (any of you) laborers would be. I know there was some debate about insurance with general liability and WC. Along with the W2 vs W9 employees. Ideally I would like to W9 employees (for simplicity of payroll) but include all contractors on insurance. I am already paying for insurance regardless of if its W2 or W9 employees/contractors so why not have everyone covered? Insurance is based off payouts so regardless ifs W2 or W9 I still am paying $44 on the thousand for WC, Gen liability, and Unemployment. With a W9 the only thing I wouldn't put on the policy would be your trailer.
Again this is something that I need to talk to my lawyer about.

Sounds like a plan to me. I am sure there will be lots of people interested. We are gate guards, have been since Sept 2010. Only thing is we come back home in the summer months.

Having been in the field since 2007, I will give an answer, but probably not the one you want to hear. Yes, there are companies that hire singles, in fact over time, most will. The thing is that single gates are few and far between and no one knows from one day to the next when one will come available. The company we are with had multiple single gates last winter, but none now. The only thing you can do is call each and every company that you want to work for and tell them that you are available for a single gate.
Please do NOT think you are a super person and can work a busy 24 hour gate by yourself, because it will not be possible longer than a couple of days....Have seen this happen on more than one occasion and the end result is the person leaving and most never returning.
Also suggest you join Andy's My Old RV forum , which is dedicated to the gate guard industry and the guards themselves.

My company Lone Star Homeland Security will hire single gate guards under one of two conditions. One being that its a pipe line gate that's only run 12 hrs per day or two you become a W2 employee and work 7 days on 7 days off.

Thanks to all who've posted in this thread. As one who is interested in this kind of job, I applaud you all for taking the time to post your experiences good and bad!
So a pat on the back for you I say, along with a heartfelt thank you. When I decide the time is right to get in to this for me, I'll have you all to thank for giving me the knowledge to know what the heck I'm doing. LOL.
Continued good fortunes to all!

We are headed back in another 2 months for our 9th and final season in the patch. In a way looking forward to it, but also in a way saying what the h.. are we doing this for at our age....![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/smile.gif "smile") I guess it boils down to the money is very good for a retirement supplement.
