Washington Independent Contractor vs. Employee Assessment

Reviews control, independence, business operations, investment, opportunity for profit or loss, integration, records, and agency tests.

Who this is for: workers and businesses evaluating classification.

Washington law note (August 12, 2026): Washington agencies apply statutory tests rather than relying only on a 1099 or contract label. Control, independent business activity, licensing, accounts, and the nature of the work must be reviewed.
