Hi I'm starting a new job and my employer gave me the following forms.

Form w-4 employee withholding certificate

Form w-9 request for tax payer identification number and certification

And lastly form i-9 for homeland security

It's a preschool and I'm used to a employer giving me a W2. I'm not sure what's going on. She wants me to work 9 to 6 $16 an hour. Is this legal? Im not a independent contractor. She told me I will get paid every Friday.

She told me they don't pay for sick days but that I would get holidays. Is this legal? I don't have a business and I don't think I'm a independent contractor as I'm going there Monday to friday

I didn't want to make this post but I'm wondering if any others are currently experiencing this. Currently unemployed and I am trying to find a job. I'm very qualified (multiple degrees) recent graduate etc. I live in the south. Every place that I apply to invites me to an interview. I even get a second round. But I don't get the job. One thing seems to be a factor. Many of the places are no longer a diverse workplace. Many of the places are Hispanic even if the company is American. As a black woman I have experienced lots of hostility from Spanish women. It's almost as soon as I walk in the room. which is also interesting. But that's another topic for another day. I also notice that as soon as I come they try to rush me out real fast. One even said not to finish the application. Just put my name on it 😅

At first when I told people they sort of gaslit me and said it was not true. But j first noticed this phenomenon in 2017. Where I live Hispanic population is the majority. But I notice blatant discrimination. One interviewer wanted Me to share ALL of my experiences as well problem solving skills related to a particular issue. But she did not intend on hiring me. Unfortunately this happened to me twice. Right now there is a silent war that nobody is talking about.

I do not believe that Hispanics are the minority in 2026. So right now black people are going to deal with discrimination from Hispanics. If you are planning on going to school please choose a major where you earn certification, or a license.It's not a fool proof plan but it's something. In the meantime I started my own business and currently that's how I'm staying afloat. Black people especially ladies please start conducting business. What I'm experiencing is not even unique. I just went to job/r and people are saying they changed their name to a Hispanic sounding name and they had like 5 replies for interview before the day was over. Please stay vigilant. Black people are going to have to work TOGETHER and start moving as packs rather than the lone wolf. It's going to get reallyyyyy bad 😞.

Stay vigilant friends ❤️

I want to set up a LLC for a small business. I hear that you have to register through the sunbiz . But I also hear about a website called northwest registered agents. Which one comes first? Or do northwest agents do the llc for you? I don't have a physical address as my business will be more service based and I don't wanna use my home address. I also need a website. It's confusing for me. Not sure which order to flow.
