Frequently asked questions

What are typical payment terms for contractors?

Typical payment terms for contractors vary depending on the agreement between the contractor and the hiring company. Common payment terms include Net 30 (payment due within 30 days of invoice), Net 60, or even immediate payment upon completion of services. Some contracts may also include milestone-based payments.

How are payments made to contractors?

Payments to contractors can be made through various methods such as electronic funds transfer (direct deposit), paper checks, wire transfers, or online payment platforms. The method of payment is often specified in the contract agreement between the contractor and the hiring company.

Are 1099 considered employees?

No, individuals who receive a 1099-MISC form for their compensation are not considered employees; they are classified as independent contractors or freelancers. Unlike employees, independent contractors typically have more control over how and when they perform their work and are responsible for paying their taxes.

Can independent contractors get direct deposit?

Yes, independent contractors can often opt to receive payments via direct deposit if the hiring company offers this payment method. However, paying contractors through an AOR, like Skuad, is more secure.

How does Skuad help with invoicing independent contractors?

Skuad assists independent contractors with invoicing through various means: 

  • Automated Invoicing Templates: Skuad provides pre-designed invoice templates that contractors can easily customize with their project details, rates, and payment terms.
  • Invoice Tracking: Contractors can track the status of their invoices within the Skuad platform, allowing them to monitor when invoices are sent, viewed, and paid by clients.
  • Integration with Accounting Software: Skuad seamlessly integrates with popular accounting software platforms, streamlining the invoicing process and ensuring accurate recording of income and expenses.
  • Communication Tools: Skuad facilitates communication between contractors and clients regarding billing matters, allowing for quick resolution of any invoicing issues or disputes.
  • Payment Reminders: Skuad can automatically send reminders to clients for outstanding invoices, helping contractors maintain a steady cash flow and reduce payment delays.

Do companies report independent contractors to the IRS?

Yes, companies are required to report payments made to independent contractors to the IRS if the total amount paid to a contractor exceeds $600 in a calendar year. This reporting uses Form 1099-NEC, which details the total compensation paid to the contractor during the tax year.
