Being paid by on a 1099 basis means you are an independent contractor, basically self employed. The amounts that would be paid by an employer for his employee are now your responsibilty, like the employer portion of FICA (7.56%). However, as someone self employed, you probably aren't covered by WC protection, and certainly not Unemployment, so you won't be making contributions to it. It's probably negotiable. But just because a company pays into WC for you doesn't make you an employee. Many states are "ladder states," meaning liability follows up the ladder until someone can pay. In Texas, General Contractors are required to carry Comp for their subcontractors (who are 1099 workers) who don't have it, or remain liable if they don't (since TX is the voluntary Comp state.) If you can carry your own WC, it may make you more marketable. You can check with those you do work for before you decide.

Massachusetts Answer #2 You better check with workman's comp.

Can you get paid in 1099 and still receive workers comp?
First. My answers are for U.S. Employees ONLY. If you're a 1099 employee and you work in any setting, You are covered by Workman's Comp. If you work for a company and they pay you 1099, but you work for them, same place every day, etc, they MUST carry Workmans Comp insurance to cover you. Now there are a couple of exceptions. For instance you are, or work for ABC cleaning company. If you submit a bill or a bill is submitted on your behalf to garner payment, then it is the bill generators responsability to cover you with Workmans Comp Insurance. If the employer informes you he does and will not carry this type of insurace, and you agree and sign off and are compensated for said lack of coverage, then your "employer" need not carry Workmans Comp Insurance on you. If you want complete details of who and what coverages need to be carried go to Google.com and search Workmans Comp rules & regulations for YOUR STATE or Country, as all states/countries vary a small amount.
