Question 56: If Dentist Able and Dentist Baker are each sole proprietors, operating in the same office and sharing the staff employees 50/50, can each have his or her own retirement plan, taking into account just his or her share of the staff employees' payroll and hours worked? Please assume there is no entity combining the two sole proprietorships. |
Answer: This is a fairly classic shared employee situation. I discuss this at length in Chapter 5 of my book, Who's the Employer?, but here's a quick summary. |
