How to Hire Employees and How to Start a Business

[@keriapodaca]

Hi! Just ran across your channel today, now binge watching. I'm in Central California and contemplating opening a landscape design business. Thank you for all the really great business info. Thank you!! LOVE your videos!!

[@silentninja6526]

This is exactly where I am at with our business. This video series is answering the questions I've been having with first hire. Thank you very much for sharing.

[@Dirtmonkey]

***** Great to know! Thank you!

[@darthv8or]

Bro.....the music running during an interview 👎🏻 still gonna like the vid tho. Thanks

[@Mowersforhire]

You've been bringing the heat with your videos lately. I can't wait for the rest of the series.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Mowers for Hire LLC. Haha- Thanks!

Looking forward to part 2. This kind of info is very important to independent contractors considering hiring help. Most do not want to do it the legal way and could face serious issues in the future if they pay their help under the table. The IRS makes it very clear the difference between an employee vs sub contractor. If you can not prove your sub contractor is legit, the IRS will consider them an employee and you will have to file and pay the added taxes for them. Keep in mind the added insurance coverage you will need also. If your so-called sub contractor gets hurt or causes damage to the property, you as the contracted business owner will be liable. Stan, you have the some of the best videos, I'm surprised you do not have a million subscribers.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Billy Goat Thanks! The second part covers the difference between an employee and a legal subcontractor. The IRS audited the crap out of me- so I learned first hand the consequences.

[@carmellejean-paul4334]

This was all very awesome and practical advice! The gentlemen was very knowledgeable though a little difficult to hear at times. Thanks again!

Finding good, reliable, hardworking guys is hard to find. This we know. I've had guys I thought were great, didn't last till lunchtime first day, then had kids I thought wouldn't last till lunch time first day, ended up being foreman 5yrs later. One thing I learned, never judge a book by it's cover and Talk is talk.

[@mrdeuce187]

Amazing video! One of the most helpful videos I've came across on KZbin very clear and to the point. I'm excited about part two and more vids like this in the future I plan to hire someone legitimately and I know it's gonna be a little different in my state but this video helped me get a close figure to what it would cost. I've been pricing all my lawns at a price to where I can pay employees a decent wage to do the work and still make a decent profit I thought it would cost alot more to do everything legit. Thanks again!!

[@Dirtmonkey]

Empire Lawns I am glad this helped! Thanks for taking the time to let me know. Appreciate that!

[@Dirtmonkey]

cody decker Thank you!

[@eroc34444]

Damn good video a lot of info..keep up the good work

[@trooperandcooperale3057]

Excellent stuff. Stan if I could suggest one thing. I love the music but when it's a conversation between two people, it's very distracting, well to me, cause I start enjoying the tunes and I tune out. Like the other day when you were talking on the phone to the lady. Just a thought.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Trooperandcooper Ale Thank you! I have heard mixed reviews on the music-ie to loud etc. I have tried to turn it down so its more subtle.

[@Cashizzking]

awesome info Stan!

[@Dirtmonkey]

A simmonslawn Thank You!

[@airsoftdeltasquad100]

Hey Stan could you do a video all about taxes. When you pay how What percent to save all that good stuff. Thanks

[@hollamby75]

x2

[@Dirtmonkey]

GUNS & KNIVES That is in process-in fact I re-interview Jeff on this very subject. I think it is one of the absolute most important concepts you can understand.

[@airsoftdeltasquad100]

Thankyou stan

[@mikesandoval2890]

Great Info!

[@Dirtmonkey]

Thank you!

[@bubbaspropertymaintenance3689]

great advice thanks

[@Dirtmonkey]

+Alvie Armes Thanks again Alvie :)

[@servantofourlordjesuschris6456]

I have a question. Could you hire people that give expert advise to other businesses? For tax reasons, you must categorize your worker as an independent contractor, common-law employee, statutory employee or statutory nonemployee. Misclassification can result in fines equal to one-and-a-half percent of the questionable wages, plus the withholding taxes. Criminal charges can apply as well. Because what Im looking at. Is putting a group of people who come up with stratagies for other businesses together and make them work for me by giving other businesses help and professional information. But according to tax categorization it says those kinds of people work by them selves. They are the independent contractors. Could i still hire them?

[@supermanley101]

The overtime/salary comment is not true. Salaried employees are entitled to overtime pay as long as they are not in an exempt or AEP position.

[@chandlerbeaudette7623]

My question is do I file the W-4 for my employee with the IRS after I hire them?

[@littlesun6112]

Chandler Beaudette Yes you dumb ass. Unless you plan on ripping off your employees by not paying them on time or correctly kinda how he over prices his shitty services.

[@JoshPaynter87]

what do you think of home advisor is it worth the money

[@ryanslawnthings4743]

No way don't get involved with those crooks nothing but bullshit leads

[@Dirtmonkey]

***** Personally- I like Home advisor but some people hate them.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Curcios LawnCare I have had good luck with Home advisor-but I have been with them for 10 plus years and grandfathered in. Maybe that makes a difference. I also aggressively pursue refunds on what I consider bad leads. Many people fail to understand that important difference.

[@johnwillis7965]

Stanly: youve actually gotten refunds on bad leads ,, ive been talking to lots of people and they say the money is better spent in direct advertising ?

[@michaelnesbitt6115]

You can set a limit to what you want to spend on leads , I turn off my leads sometimes if I get to busy and then you can turn it on when you need it .

[@atabelosconstruction9046]

w4? whats a w2 for then...

[@hotboxking420]

so on the 1099 part. can someone get a 1099 if they are not a contractor and u wanna hire someone as 1099 worker ?

[@Dirtmonkey]

Be careful doing this.

[@fabianjrv1]

good info!....why the music....

[@Dirtmonkey]

I don't know- more entertaining?

[@ronaeschliman9210]

I am trying to figure out how do u know so much about almost everything and how r u making money talking so much I don't think u would do this to help so many people for free

[@littlesun6112]

ron aeschliman he's a Con-artist

[@jamesmorel1052]

Little Sun look at his video on using competition to cooperate! Co-operation, NOT competition, is the basis of success.

[@trustme6022]

Wet informative, but the music throws me off

[@patrickmitchell100]

I'd like to start a business but man this sounds confusing

[@ethanwhitaker6852]

Haha the music lol Dont do that

[@silver9483]

I can’t make out what George Clooney is saying. Talk louder and more clearly like a man.

[@dimakharitonov9883]

omgosh music is terrible

[@DanielBCespedes]

Love your channel, this guy is a little boring though... very mundane.

[@jerryolgrist5605]

He's exactly what an accountant is.
