1. Independent Contractor StatusThe Guard is an independent contractor, not an employee of the Platform or any Business Client. The relationship is governed by this agreement.The Guard acknowledges and agrees that:The Guard is solely responsible for paying all federal, state, and local taxes, including Self-Employment Tax, and for filing all required tax returns;The Guard is not entitled to any employee benefits, including but not limited to health insurance, paid time off, sick leave, workers' compensation, unemployment benefits, or retirement plans;The Guard is not covered by the Platform's or Business's workers' compensation insurance;The Guard is not an agent or representative of the Platform and has no authority to enter into contracts or make commitments on behalf of the Platform.2. Control Over Work (Key Argument for 1099 Status)The Guard retains full control over how, when, and with whom to work:Schedule: The Guard is free to accept or decline any shifts offered through the Platform. The Guard is not required to accept a minimum number of shifts and may work with multiple Businesses simultaneously.Methods: The Guard independently determines the means and methods of performing their duties (within the bounds of applicable laws and licenses), uses their own equipment (vehicle, firearm, communication devices), and bears all associated costs.Substitution: The Guard has the right (subject to Business approval) to arrange for a qualified substitute to fulfill a shift, provided the substitute is also registered on the Platform and meets all applicable requirements.Payment Independence: The Guard receives payment as an independent contractor via Stripe Connect. The Platform acts solely as a payment agent and is not the Guard's employer.3. Liability and InsuranceThe Guard is required to maintain valid professional liability insurance to cover incidents occurring during shifts. The Guard bears full responsibility for their actions while on duty and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Platform and the Business Client from any claims, damages, or losses arising from the Guard's performance or failure to perform services.4. Special State-Specific RequirementsIMPORTANT NOTICE: Certain states have laws that explicitly prohibit classifying security guards as 1099 independent contractors.Louisiana: Pursuant to LSA-R.S. 37:3272(A)(18), a "security guard" is defined as an individual "employed by a contract security company." The Louisiana State Board of Private Security Examiners (LSBPSE) and the Department of Labor require that all security guards working in Louisiana be classified as W-2 employees, not 1099 contractors. The only permissible subcontracting relationship in Louisiana is when one licensed security company subcontracts to another licensed security company.Ohio: Similar restrictions on guard classification apply. The Platform reserves the right to:Restrict Guards domiciled in prohibited states from accepting shifts through the Platform; orRequire Businesses operating in such states to provide confirmation that Guards are classified as W-2 employees in compliance with applicable state law.5. AcceptanceThis Agreement is a standalone document requiring separate, affirmative consent (e.g., acheck-box indicating "I accept the terms"). The Guard must provide a completed W-9form for tax reporting purposes before receiving any payments through the Platform.
