The employer could be liable for paying all kinds of back payroll taxes and penalties should the IRS consider your buddies to be employees. You can save a lot of cash, but it's risky.
Fortunately for me, our entire industry works this way, so it would be highly unlikely for the IRS to pin something like that on me when i can easily prove that all companies like mine in FL operate the same way. Even so, you have to have all the T's crossed and I's dotted to stay out of the spot light.
