Is my worker a W-2 employee or a 1099 contractor?

What this page can tell you

You're asking a real question: is the person you're hiring a W-2 employee or a 1099 contractor? That's a legal and tax question, and the material behind this page doesn't answer it. The material describes a tool called Bilingual Job Post, which helps you write a job ad — it does not decide how to classify a worker.

What Bilingual Job Post actually does

You describe the job in your own words: a normal day, the pay, the hours, what you actually need. The tool drafts a job post in English and Spanish, with a pay range, the real requirements, and the legal lines a post needs. It gives you three sizes: a job-board version, a short social post, and a flyer version with a tear-off line. The first post is free.

What it does not decide

The tool flags common legal problems in the wording of a job post. It is not legal advice. For whether a worker should be classified as a W-2 employee or a 1099 contractor, for licenses, or for rules that differ by state, you are told to check with your state labor agency or a professional.

It is based on public EEOC, DOL and state pay-transparency guidance.
Employment law varies by state and city.
You, as the employer, are responsible for the accuracy and legality of what you post.
It is not affiliated with Indeed, Meta, or any job board.

What we don't know

The material doesn't say whether what you type or paste into the tool is stored. If you plan to paste anything sensitive, confirm that detail directly with the tool first. The material also doesn't explain the legal test for W-2 vs 1099 status — that's outside what this tool covers.

What to do next

If you're ready to write the ad itself, describe the job in your own words — a normal day, the pay, the hours, what you need — and the free tool reads your description and drafts a bilingual post with a pay range and real requirements, sized for a job board, social media, and a flyer. But for the W-2 vs 1099 question itself, this is not legal or tax advice: check with your state labor agency or a professional before you decide.
