Hi-
I'm in the process of structuring a maternity leave agreement with a key employee. The spirit of agreement is that the maternity leave payments would be contingent on employee staying with company for 6-12 months after return to service.
In terms of this payment, a 1099 payment is much cleaner than running payment through payroll (w/ withholdings). Anyone out there with thoughts on whether this raises a red flag?.
thx
