Consistent Paychecks

W-2 Stability vs. Contractor Uncertainty

Plumbers who have been working as independent contractors are sometimes hesitant to take full-time jobs. However, the benefits of working a W-2 job far outweigh the minor inconvenience of integrating into a new workplace. LaVergne's expert plumbers never have to worry about getting payment from difficult clients.

💡 Why W-2 Employment Wins

Full-time plumbers that work for reputable companies have far fewer financial woes than their peers who work as independent contractors. They don't need to pay self-employment taxes, nor do they have to worry about finding new clients when their schedules are looking sparse. The company's customer service team handles all the client interactions — from scheduling appointments to obtaining payments — so that its plumbers can focus on doing their jobs.

What You Won't Have to Worry About

Let the Company Handle the Business Side

Making the switch to full-time, W-2 employment can take a lot of stress off of plumbers' plates. Having a steady income and a lower tax burden can be incredibly liberating for those used to going it alone.

💰

No Self-Employment Tax

W-2 employees don't pay the extra self-employment tax burden contractors face.

📅

No Slow Seasons

No need to scramble for clients when the schedule is sparse — the work is there.

🛡️

No Personal Insurance

Plumbers on LaVergne's team don't have to maintain their own insurance policies.

🕐

Always Paid on Time

No chasing down clients for payment — you'll always get paid on time.
