Words of advice, though, if the business is in CA don't hire contractors via 1099 unless the work really does fall under the legal definition of what a 1099 can be used for (in CA). If they appear to be an employee, in any way, then they should be an employee. The CA EDD loves auditing and assessing back taxes and fines. And all it takes is a disgruntled contractor to call the EDD.
