    Thanks so much! I'm very glad to have you here and appreciate the work you do to increase scam awareness. It's very important, especially in this industry, to know how to locate legitimate opportunities and avoid scams. Bottom line, Never Pay to Mystery Shop!

    Hi, Jacqueline! Yes, Integrity Consultants does provide services to financial institutions as well as other agencies who specialize in financial mystery shops, such as banks, credit unions, and investment firms. I also encourage and invite other agencies to post their shops here for you. I appreciate your comments and visits!

    "Why do I have to fill out an I-9 if I am filling out a W-9? Isn't that for permanent employees?"
  • IntegrityKelly Feb 28, 2010 @ 7:45 pm | delete
    This is a very good question. I would like to note that I am responding only on behalf on Integrity Consultants in this instance. Though it is my understanding and personal experience as an Independent Contractor that this documentation is utilized by many providers in the industry, I can only attest to the procedures of Integrity Consultants and the reasoning behind them.

    All Independent Contractors are required by Integrity Consultants to complete/sign and return three documents prior to scheduling their first assignment. The Independent Contractor Agreement (ICA) is necessary for an Independent Contractor relationship with Integrity Consultants. It clearly defines the relationship and rights of both parties concerned and also details Policy and Procedure pertaining to a variety of issues, including payment procedures and disputes. The W-9 is required by Integrity Consultants, as it facilitates submission of a 1099 Form when an Independent Contractor earns more than $599 in a calendar year. The I-9 is required for the purpose of identity verification, which is also supplemented by the W-9.

    Comments are welcome to this post, regarding documentation that you might use as a provider or questions that you might have as an Independent Contractor or other Professional.
