I realize this is (a) probably the wrong newsgroup; and (b) FAQ fodder (is
there a misc.jobs.contract FAQ?), but nonetheless:

I have been offered the chance to work on a contract basis for 2-3 months.
It would possibly/hopefully lead to a normal full-time position after the
contract period has ended.  The particulars of why the participants involved
would like to work things this way is not really pertinent.

I have done contract work before, but it was under different circumstances;
i.e., I sub-contracted the work originally, and then when they wished to
extend the contract, I was forced to go in through an Approved Job Shop as
I'm sure you full-time Consultants are all too familiar with (the old U.S.
"you vill pay your deadbeat Consultants' unpaid taxes" law had just been
passed, if I recall).  The current circumstance is different; they are not
demanding that I go through a pre-approved (and rate-ceiling'd )-: ) job shop.
So, happy happy joy joy, right?  Given this opportunity, I figured it would
be a good a time as any to incorporate and become XYZ World Domination
Enterprises, Inc. and bill directly under the name I choose for the "company".

Any advice from you already-Consultants out there would be much appreciated.
I have these vague ideas about things like 1099 Forms vs. W-2, and having to
file a Fictitous Business Statement for 3 weeks (right?) in some local rag
before I can declare XYZ World Domination Enterprises open for business, but
that's about it.  I assume that I have to go to some government office and
pick up some kind of paperwork declaring that this new business exists, etc.,
but as you can see, I'm mostly clueless on the procedure.  Any RTFM equiv's
(like "Pick up the Yellow Pages and call the closest Accountant, you twit!")
welcome, too.

Thanks in advance,

   Buying him off on what? 1706? Or something else? When Perot ran EDS, it was
   my impression (perhaps I'm wrong) that EDS did not hire contractors and
   consultants. If they couldn't own you, they didn't want you. What, then,
   would Perot have gained assuming he bought Moynihan off on 1706?

Since EDS was one of the Largest/Biggest/Hugest contracting houses
in the US, EDS would have the most to gain by cutting out all the
small operations.  I think that was the -real- purpose of 1706.
After that, many places would only use larger contracting houses
because they were afraid of the IRS.

On the other hand, I never heard those rumors.

Subject: Tech Writers Wanted (Staff/Contract) SF Bay Area. {Writers Union}
Organization: Whole Earth 'Lectronic Link
Date: Sat, 26 Sep 1992 18:56:08 GMT


The technical writers job bank of the National Writers Union 
lists many contract and staff writing jobs that go begging 
because we have no one to fill them. We are currently listing 7 
contract and 19 staff jobs. 

To hear a free description of these jobs, call (415) 979-5522.

The job bank is a non-profit cooperative effort organized by working 
technical writers who are members of the National Writers Union. 
Employers list their job openings on the hotline for free. When 
union members are interested in a job, our coordinator gives them 
the employer's name and phone number. Then the member negotiates 
directly with the employer. The union does not act as a middle 
man or broker. The union plays no role in the contract or terms 
agreed to between the writer and the employer. When members get a 
job through a hotline lead, they pay a finders fee of 12% of the 
first four months income. (Compare that to brokers who usually 
take a third of what the employer pays for the life of the 
contract.) 

You must be an NWU member to obtain the contact information about 
a job listed on the hotline. We are the trade union that covers 
all working writers (journalists, book authors, poets, technical 
and practical writers, etc.) except for those represented by the 
Newspaper, Screenwriters, or Dramatists Guilds. In addition to 
the job bank, the union provides many other services including 
union health plan, career networking, publishers and agents 
databases, and grievance handling (we've recovered almost 
$700,000 owed to writers). We are a national union with locals in 
12 cities across the country. We have been in existence for 10 
years and we are an affiliate of the UAW/AFL/CIO. Union dues are 
on a sliding scale based on your writing income, from a low of 
$35 for 6 months to a high of $150 per year. 

For membership information, or to speak with Kenya Briggs, the 
hotline coordinator, call (415) 474-5007.

Actually, EDS has always been forced to hire a certain number of contractors.
However, they are not rumoured to be generous about it.  Rumour in Dallas 
has it that one of the Big 8 (now Big 6) accounting firms was behind 1706.
I don't know if this is true, but EDS (& Perot Systems) like everyone else
would have to be audited on occasion...
Keep us informed!
