We are a very small startup and registered to do business in Texas. We would like to hire ONE person at an hourly wage doing executive level work (basically we would like to compensate one of the founders for the hours they put in weekly but it's not full time work so an hourly wage is acceptable to all involved). I'm having a tough time researching what the right way to pay this person is.

Justworks and similar companies require a minimum number of employees and we don't meet their minimums. Based on the work being done it looks like legall we have to hire on a W2 and not a 1099.

So I guess my questions are

• has anyone run into this problem before
• What's the right way to do this
• What solution did you use?
• I'm assuming just paying this person by venmo is a bad thing to do
• I need some guidance here.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can provide some insight.
