I know they're out there, John, because I worked for one for a few years. That company closed its doors recently when the owner decided to retire, but they can't be the only one.
If the details matter, that was InfoSec, Inc. They hired me in 2010 as part of a team to do some work for a client in Indianapolis. That was as an independent, not an employee; I invoiced them for my time. We repeated that relationship for two more projects, and in 2012 they invited me to become a W-2 employee. They continued farming me out to various clients. In 2014 they added my first part-time client, and by the mid-2016 it was all part-time. Late in 2018 the boss, wanting to save money, asked me to revert to independent, so we renegotiated the rate and I went back to invoicing. He retired early this year, so InfoSec Inc is no longer available as a resource. But there have to be others who do the same sort of thing. But it isn't only consulting shops that hire on a part-time basis. One of my customers is HTC in Michigan; they're a regular contract recruiting house, but my work for one of their clients is part-time. All of this made for a complicated interview when I registered for social-security last year; my SSA interviewer repeatedly had to consult with a coworker to figure out how to handle me. She got it figured out in the end (I suppose). If you want to talk more about that, feel free to contact me off-line, for what my ignorance is worth. --- Bob Bridges, [email protected], cell 336 382-7313 /* "Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time."

I might want try this when my shop goes under (sched 1Q2021). But the interaction between working & Social Security is an unknown to me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
