Potato Growers
Hear About Taxes

At the potato growers meeting
on February Is, the question of re-
spOnsibility for Withholding social
security taxes was brought up
particularly as regards migrant
help working under a crew leader
with whom the farmer deals. The
following statement has been fur
nished by MyrOn MilbOuer, Dis
trict Manager for the Social Sc
eurity Administration in Whining
ton:
Some general guides have been
developed to identify who is the
employer as between the farm op-
orator and the individual Organi-
zation that brings them on the
farm to work in situations invOlv-
ing crews of nonresident, migra-
tory labOrers.
Where the farm operator re-
cruits his own laborers, there is not
much question but that he is the
employer. This is also true where
the services of an intermediary are
limited to the recruitment of farm
labor. of course, the basic rule to
follow in determining who is the
employer reYOlves around the right
to exercise control over individuals
comprising the labor force as tO
the time, place, manner, and means
Of performing the services.
Certain criteria have been de-
signed to help identify the individ-
ual who exercises or reserves the
right to control the 1abOrers in the
performance Of their work:

are usually considered employees
of the farm operator because hC
reserves to himself the right tC
control them as well as the labol
force not only as to what shOulG
be done but how it shall be done
This right is usually evidenced b.
the farm operator having final au
thOrity to set the time and Ordei

their employment as we'll as tn

the labOrers from one field to an
other. This emplOyer-emplOyee re-
latiOnship between the farm Oper-
ator and the intermediary exists
even though the arrangement pro-
vides for the intermediary to eXer-
else, for the farm operator, some or
all the elements of supervision over
the laborers, including the distri-
button for the farm operator of the
payment of remuneration to the
labOreTs for their services.
"In this situation, the intermed-
iaries as well as the individuals
comprising the labor force are en-
plOyees of the farm operator.
(b) Intermediary - Independent
Contractor - The intermediary is
an independent contractor and he
is the employer of the farm labor
ers where he has full responsible
ity for completed the contracted
job and the right to exercise con-
troll over the ways and means of
doing it. This right is usually evil
denced by such things as having
final authority to hire and fire the
labor force; establish the rate of
pay and compensate labOreTs from
his own funds; sub-cOntract any or
all of the work to another; furnish
all or part of the equipment neces-
sary for completing the harvesting
/ operation; and his compensation is
so arranged that he stands to make
a profit or suffer a loss. The in
/ termediary may receive a fiat fee
for the entire job, a commission, OF
a percentage of the harvest. In
this type Of situation, the interme-
diary is an independent contractor
since he would not be subject tC
control over the manner and means
of completing the harvest and be-
cause he would have an opportunity
to make a profit or suffer a loss
Also, the intermediary is the EN-
ployer of the labor force.
''As a general rule, custom con
tractors, wholesale assembleTs ant
food professors take over the en-
tire job and thus are Independent
contractors. They would be tn
employers of the labor force. .
