I am starting a new business and need to speak with a labor law attorney in Houston to find out if I am able to contract my drivers to drive my vans or if I need to make them an employee.

Does anyone know a Labor law attorney here in the Houston area that can help?

I'm going to go out on a professional limb and say that of you have drivers who you expect to show up on your schedule, to drive you vans, with your stuff in them to your customers that they are employees and not contractors.

I am a CPA. I am not you CPA. I would recommend that you speak with your CPA or your attorney before you get into trouble with the Texas Workforce Commission or someone else.

In the meantime, you may find this helpful:

Independent contractor?

I would say that, in this case, the work you are hiring them to do being done "off premises" isn't applicable.

I am happy to help, but this is requires more discussion than you likely want public about your business. Send me a PM and we will work it out.

A Houston guy who won't gouge you is Larry Stuart 713/337-3750. Combat is on the right track, by the way.

Sorry LawAg, the in reply was to the wrong post--dumb iPad. I am not saying LawAg will gouge, just that I know Larry won't.
