The debate about temporary providers being 1099 contractors or W-2 employees is an ongoing topic. However, the answer is clear: Dental Hygienists and Dental Assistants are NOT independent contract employees. Therefore, the IRS states they cannot be classified as a 1099 contractor. In fact, it is illegal and can get you into some major financial trouble.

Dental Hygienists and Dental Assistants work under the supervision of another dentist. When you offer your professional services, you are treating the dentist’s patients and using their equipment in their practice. Ultimately, the dentist still calls the shots on treatment performed.

Crown Staffing and Recruiting cares about our team! We classify all our temporary and permanent employees as W-2 employees. Make sure you have the facts before jumping on the 1099 bandwagon. It can save you in the long run.
