Are 1099 employees responsible for there own break time and lunch time?
The job im at I am a 1099 employee but they tell us when to get here when our breaks are when our lunch is and when we leave. Doesn't that technically mean that we are W2 workers?

First of all, there is no such thing as a 1099 employee. You are either an independent contractor or an employee. Second, yes, if you are being told when to take a break or have lunch, then you are probably an employee and not an independent contractor.

Individuals who can sign the employer's side of an I-9 document are any authorized representative of the company. The DHS does not require the representative to have a specific agreement authorizing them to do so. Your company would be held liable for any violations. The person who signs a W9 must be a "U.S. person." That means that the signer must be an individual who is a U.S. citizen or a U.S. resident alien. The signer should have the organization's consent to sign a W9 on its behalf, but consent can be oral or implied. There is no requirement that a company create a written authorization to sign a W9.

Can an employer fire an employee while the employee out on sick leave
I am out on sick leave. can I resign my job?
Forest H.
Good morning, Florida is an "at-will" state (with a few limited exceptions). Depending on the size of the employer, you may be subject to FMLA protections. Otherwise, unless there is an employment contract in place, an employee can quit at any time and an employer can fire an employee at any time. Unless the reason for the firing is illegal, such as a protected class or whistleblower protection, you can be fired while on sick leave.

You will need an employment attorney to advise you, as such, you will need to post your project on the website Here are the steps you need to take to accomplish this 1. Post the job you need to get accomplished – for example “ I am looking for a Florida employment attorney to advise me of my rights -------------“ 2. Once posted, attorneys on the website that are interested and qualified will respond to your posting 3. Choose an attorney/s based upon their qualifications and cover letter to have a quick call so that you can decide who you would like to hire. 4. After talking with attorneys, choose who you will decide to proceed with. Remember to discuss the cost of the project as well as how long it will take to be completed as well as when payments will be made. 5. Once you have decided who to hire, click “HIRE” and that attorney will now be hired by you. Donya Gordon, Esq.

I work full time from 7:58 am to 5pm they tell me by law I have to take 1 hour break . And they say I can’t pass the 40 hours because they won’t pay overtime to me . But the other employees
I just want to know if it’s correct that they can do that or I can take 45 min only of break so they pay me .
Donya G.
From my initial research it appears that based on Federal law, s 30 min break is required; however, I am NOT a Florida attorney and DO NOT practice in this field so its best to talk to someone with the knowledge and expertise in this field. https://thelawdictionary.org/article/florida-labor-laws-about-break-during-work/ Hope that helps.

Breach of contract?
I’m a nurse practitioner currently employees under a contract in which I was suppose to receive a bonus paid out 30 days after a 12 month period. One week after the 30 days has passed, the Bonus has not been paid. This is consider breach of contract, correct? the contract stipulates I must give 30 days notice prior to quitting. Does this still apply if he is in breach?
Diane D.
Have you asked about receiving the promised bonus? It may just be late. I would talk to the employer before quitting. And, yes, you must still give the 30 days' notice or you will be in breach. Also, realize, if you quit you may not be entitled to the bonus. I would have to see the contract you signed to actually know what you are entitled to or not.
