| | WC Independent Contractor |
 | | Generally, a person cannot become an independent contractor just because he or she wants to be or because an employer prefers them to be. |
 | | Yes, effective January 1, 2001, independent contractors should have on file with the Department of Labor and Training (DLT) a Notice of Designation as Independent Contractor (DWC-11-IC) form, which is available at the Department. |
 | | However, if you, as an independent contractor hire the landscaper as part of your business, you should be sure that the landscaper has a DWC-11-IC form on file with DLT, which will remain in effect, unless withdrawn, for every time that particular independent contractor works for you. |
