Question 189: An insurance agency uses several independent agents who are paid on a commission-only basis. Do they have to be included in the agency's 401(k) plan, or are they considered independent contractors? |
Answer: The foregoing is exactly the way the question came to me. I have not deleted a word. I include it here because the approach this question takes is typical of the approach many people take in dealing with employee/independent contractor questions. |
