Sudipta is an accounting major who works during the day and takes classes in the evening. He was excited to finally land his first accounting job doing the books for a local dry cleaner.  In his new job, Supidta works 30 hours a week at the dry cleaners' main office.  His excitement quickly dampened when he realized that his new employer was not withholding any incomes taxes or FICA taxes from his paycheck.  Apparently, Sudipta's employer is treating him as an independent contractor.  Sudipta likes his job, appreciates the money he is earning, but recognizes that he should be treated as an employee, instead of an independent contractor.
