Children as employees or contractors?
My daughter is 14 and wants to help out in the family business. Should she be an hourly worker? I know kiddos can’t sign contracts under a certain age. Most of our people are contractors.

Your daughter can be your employee. Setting her up as an hourly employee would be the best way to go. Also, since she is just 14 years old, make sure that you are following your states child labor laws and not using any prohibited equipment for her age.
This is what I decided to do. We pay her hourly. She is the only employee and we follow the child labor laws.
