W2 and 1099 for same employer?

[gogrady33]

So I'm wondering as a nurse what you'd need to do to qualify as both a regular working (W2) and a gig worker (form 1099) legally for the IRS working for the same company and if you could do this using Nursa in a variety of different settings. Different departments, different hospitals, different roles ect. 

Anyone who could share insights on this here I would appreciate it.

If I understand your question correctly - these are my thoughts...

 

1. If you are a W2 employee at a facility, it is typically discouraged that you pick up shifts at that facility through Nursa. The facilities themselves do not allow that and if they catch wind that it's happening, there are usually consequences. Of course, that's up to the facility themselves! 

2. If you are a W2 employee somewhere, you are totally able to pick up shifts as a 1099 and file your own taxes in addition to your W2. I've never had any issues with that! And on the flip side, if you are picking up shifts as a 1099 via Nursa or another platform, it doesn't prevent you from getting a W2 job. 

 

Hopefully this is helpful! haha
