Sales Manager — 1099 Position

CEL Website Design LLC · Application questions

Step 2 of 2

Confidential

Everything you enter on this page — your answers, uploaded documents, and your Social Security number — stays between you and the CEL Website Design LLC administrator who reviews your application. It is not shared, sold, or given to any third party. The only exception is what a background check or IRS tax reporting requires, which is explained in the required disclosures that follow.

Application questions

Required

Full legal name *

As it appears on your ID.

Email address *

This is a 1099 independent contractor role. Do you understand that you are responsible for your own federal, state, and local taxes — including self-employment tax — and that nothing is withheld from commission payments? *

You'll provide a completed IRS Form W-9. We encourage quarterly estimated tax payments.

Legal basis for this acknowledgment

  • •Internal Revenue Code § 1401 — self-employment tax (Social Security and Medicare) is owed on your net self-employment income. Nothing is withheld for you.
  • •Internal Revenue Code § 6041 and the Instructions for Form 1099-NEC — payments of $600 or more in a year to a nonemployee must be reported to the IRS on Form 1099-NEC.
  • •Internal Revenue Code § 6654 — you must pay estimated tax quarterly if you expect to owe tax for the year.
  • •IRS Form W-9 — you certify your taxpayer identification number and your 1099 status before we can pay you.

Have you ever been arrested, charged, or convicted of a crime? *

A yes answer does not automatically disqualify you. CEL Website Design LLC hires returning citizens and reviews every answer individually.

Have you served in the U.S. Armed Forces?

Will you authorize a background check if you receive a conditional offer? *

A record does not automatically disqualify you — you'll have the chance to explain any results.

Do you understand the background check is ordered only after a conditional offer, and that you can respond to any results? *

Background check — Social Security number

Required

We run a criminal background check on applicants who receive a conditional offer. Your Social Security number is what matches your record to you, so it has to be accurate. It is stored with your application, shown only to our hiring team, and is never sold or shared outside screening and tax filing.

Social Security number *

Format XXX-XX-XXXX. Used only to match your records on the background check and for your IRS Form W-9.

Do you authorize CEL Website Design LLC and its screening agency to use your Social Security number to run a criminal background check, and do you understand you can request a copy of the report and dispute anything in it? *

Why your Social Security number is required

  • •Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. — a background check is a consumer report. The FCRA requires our written disclosure to you, your written authorization before we order it, and notice of your right to dispute anything in the report.
  • •Arkansas State Police Online Criminal Background Check System — the state's name-based search requires your full legal name, date of birth, and Social Security number to return an accurate record, and it is the check we run in Arkansas.
  • •IRS Form W-9 and Form 1099-NEC — as a 1099 independent contractor your Social Security number is your taxpayer identification number, and payments of $600 or more in a year must be reported to the IRS on Form 1099-NEC.

Driving record and vehicle

Required

This role includes in-person ride-along training and local client visits, so we ask every applicant about driving history and vehicle access.

Do you hold a valid driver's license? *

In the last 3 years, have you had any moving violations, at-fault accidents, or a suspended license? *

A yes answer does not automatically disqualify you — we review driving history individually.

Do you have a vehicle, or reliable access to one, for client visits? *

Legal basis for these questions

  • •Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. — a driving record check is a consumer report. The FCRA requires our written disclosure to you, your written authorization before we order it, and notice of your right to dispute anything it contains.
  • •Driver's Privacy Protection Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2721(b)(3) and (b)(13) — motor vehicle record information may be used by a legitimate business to verify information you submit, or with your written consent. That is why we ask you directly and keep your authorization on file.
  • •Arkansas Code § 27-22-104 — Arkansas requires minimum liability insurance on every vehicle driven on public roads. Client visits and ride-along training happen in a vehicle, so we confirm the vehicle you'll ride in is insured.
  • •Arkansas Code Title 27, Chapter 16 (Arkansas Driver License Act) — driving on public roads requires a valid driver's license, which is why we ask for a license on file.
  • •EEOC enforcement guidance on arrest and conviction records (Title VII, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq.) — violations, accidents, and suspensions are reviewed individually and are not an automatic disqualifier.

Computer, phone, and workspace access

Required

This role is remote, so you need a computer and a phone to pitch clients and track your pipeline. If you don't have a computer at home, working from a local library is fine.

Do you have access to a computer or laptop you can use for daily work? *

Do you live close enough to a local library that you could work from there? *

Where you can work if you don't have a computer at home.

Do you have access to a phone for calls and texts with clients? *

Legal basis for these questions

  • •IRS Publication 15-A and the IRS common-law test — a worker's own tools, equipment, and unreimbursed business expenses are factors in independent contractor classification. As a 1099 contractor you supply your own computer, phone, and workspace, so we confirm you have them.
  • •IRS Publication 535, Business Expenses — a self-employed contractor can deduct equipment, phone, and workspace costs. Your 1099-NEC income is reported gross, so those deductions are how you offset them.
  • •Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. § 12101 et seq. — if limited equipment access is related to a disability, tell us and we'll talk through an accommodation, such as working from a library or another shared space, instead of screening you out.
  • •Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. — these answers are not part of any consumer report; they are used only to confirm you can do the work.

Voluntary self-identification
