To qualify, you must:

• Be a current 1099 tax filer for your freelance or independent contractor work.

  • Guild Members are W-2 employees, with Guilds with Benefits as the “Employer of Record”. This is how you get those sweet benefits!

  • Guild Members earn 70% commissions on all payments taken, but take-home pay is around 90%-98% of current take-home pay. That’s how much the “system” favors employee/employer relationships over independent contractors!

• Handle your own client scheduling/booking and payment platform.

  • Guild Members use the Guilds with Benefits booking and payment platforms for all customer scheduling and payment processing. Check payments can also be processed and received by Guilds with Benefits.

• Show credentials to perform your work (certificate, degree, portfolio, etc.).

  • All of our Guild Members are verified professionals in their fields.

Right now, guild membership works best for those who:

• Have low out-of-pocket expenses to perform your work.

  • You won’t be able to write any expenses off as W-2 employee.

• Make at least $80k per year in sales.

  • You can still join if you make less than $80k/year, but since some benefit costs are fixed, you may take home less than 90% of your current take-home pay.

You will not qualify for guild membership if you:

• Are already a W-2 employee, such as a hair stylist who earns commissions from a salon.

• Must use another company’s booking and payment platform, such as Lyft or Uber drivers.
