1099 employee? isn't a 1099 classification a non employee?

Excellent point. He wants to be classified as an employee to get the benefits of residuals and that I can't fire him easily, and the benefits of the ISO/1099 which allowed him not to work for me on the side and hope for me to work my magic. It took 2 years! Trying to get him to understand that just because he has an email address at the company, doesn't mean he's not an independent contractor.
