Hello!
I'm aiming to dance at Scores or VIPS in Chicago and I'm wondering about their employment practices. Anyone who's familiar with these, please give me the scoop as soon as you can.
I'm used to working as an indepdendent contractor, with no taxes withheld or income reported by the club -- I report all earnings on my own self-employment income tax. This allows me to deduct travel expenses, which I hear you can't do as an employee.
Will my status as a dancer at Scores and VIP be as an employee or as an independent contractor? Do they pay a minimum wage? How does this jive with charging a stage fee? Do they send you a W-2 each year? And does the company name appear on that form? Like will it go on my permanent record that I worked at Scores, or do they use some other corporate name for official purposes?
I understand that VIPS is in the city of Chicago, while Scores is outside the city limits, so perhaps that makes a difference in their rules.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide.
