Code of Ethics

Hail Chasers is a tool that is used to connect brokers to independent contractors. "Opportunity for profit or loss is often an indicator of an independent contractor" is one test the IRS uses in determining an independent contractor relationship.  Unfortunately, independent contractors are not guaranteed payment should a deal fall apart.  Technicians should choose their brokers wisely.  Also, brokers should also assess the risks of doing business with an account.  We hope Hail Chasers feedback and blacklist will help everyone make the correct choices.

Brokers

  • Brokers should have a contract with an account when hiring independent contractors.
