1099 contracting is an essential part of the Work Hard Pittsburgh ecosystem. Our digital and creative agency, Work Hard Digital Services (WHDS) is the primary entity housing this work. You can learn more about 1099 contract work from the IRS or this wiki.
The Basics
WHDS acts as a regional creative and technical agency solving problems for customers. We leverage our brand strength, extended network, and strong sales and proposal writing to secure client work that falls in at least one of these categories:
- Brand and Design
- Business and Organizational Consulting
- Content Creation
- Digital Marketing
- Web and Application Development
We curate an extensive list of internal and external talent to complete this client work. Internal project and client managers oversee work. All projects use Asana for project management and track time tasks with Harvest.
Primary Contractor Agreement
The relationship between a 1099 contractor and WHDS is governed by our Primary Contractor Agreement (PCA). This complicated document spells our mutual rights and obligations and requires deep understanding by all parties. Please read this document before signing and seek clarifying answers from WHDS and your own independent legal counsel.
Generally, the PCA is broken down into the following sections:
Promises and Considerations
Pay Rates and Compensation
In most cases hourly rates are calculated using regional averages as reported by Glassdoor and Salary.com.
Subcontractor Agreement for Use by Primary Contractors
Transfer of Intellectual Property Rights
Work Order Modification Form
Rationale
WHPGH and its affiliate encourage 1099 Contracting for a couple of different reasons:
- WHPGH is cooperatively organized business incubator. 1099 contract work extends the personal financial runaway of our entrepreneurs, allowing them to work longer on their personal businesses and projects.
- WHPGH through its creative and technical agency WHDS, generates income from client work.
- We use 1099 contract work to develop junior talent or allow our cooperative members to get paid to learn a new skill.
- Our condensed technical training company, Academy Pittsburgh places apprentices into WHDS via 1099 contracts to bridge the gap for participants of that program while they look for a full time job.
