Say I apply at McDonald's and give the conditions that I wish to work under:


1.No income is withheld from me -- **thus I am self-employed**.


2.I work like every other worker, **but get paid a fixed amount agreed upon**.


3.I am responsible for taxes myself.


4.I ask specifically for **no benefits other than money**.


5.It could be contract-based, but doesn't exactly have to be.


Could an employer legally do this?



Is it legal to hire an employee, but pay them as a free agent?
