But behind every shift filled lies a bigger question — are you legally protected?
And if you’re using 1099 contractors or relying on gig apps, the answer might be no.
Let’s break down what W2 vs. 1099 really means for hiring managers in hospitality — and why getting it wrong could cost you time, money, and peace of mind.
If you’re telling a worker when to show up, what to wear, how to perform the job, and what standards to follow — they’re likely a W2 employee in the eyes of the IRS and Department of Labor.
Which means classifying them as 1099 could be considered misclassification, and that’s a big deal.
Let’s say a banquet server from a gig app slips and falls during your event. They’re a 1099 contractor. They don’t have insurance. Who’s liable?
Now imagine that same scenario with a W2 worker from All Team Staffing — covered, insured, and supported.
Which outcome would you rather explain to your GM?
You already have enough on your plate. Navigating labor law shouldn’t be one of them.
Let All Team Staffing do what we do best: provide hospitality-ready talent that is legally compliant, professionally trained, and ready to work — on your terms.
