Blue Lion Marketing ***Employment Security Commission Ruling*** All Locations, Nationwide
*Author of original report: Author responds
*UPDATE EX-employee responds: How do you know?
Show customers why they should trust your business over your competitors...
New Ruling by the North Carolina Employment Security Commission:
Blue Lion rips off its workers by saying they are independent contractors. Blue Lion saves thousands of dollars by not paying taxes, Social Security or unemployment. So, guess who pays the IRS?... You! You will have to pay your share AND their share at tax time. You also won't be eligible for unemployment benefits.
Several ex-employees recently protested and the NC ESC has now ruled that Blue Lion workers are NOT independent contractors. They are W2 employees. Don't let Blue Lion pay you like an independent contractor. It's a scam!

File for unemployment benefits. You will be told that you are "monetarily ineligible" because Blue Lion hasn't reported any income for you.
Tell the ESC that you want to protest your status as an independent contractor. They will send you a simple questionnaire that will change your status to W-2 employee. You will also need to send them your 1099 or paystubs.
File your weekly certification while the auditor decides your case.
I was told by my caseworker that the NCESC had heard from several people who worked for Blue Lion and that they were all ruled as being W-2 employees and eligible for unemployment benefits.
Report these a**holes to the NC Department of Revenue and the IRS Tax Fraud hotlines!
