Reply to comment by [deleted] in Employment question: we are a non profit seeking someone for landscaping and light maintenance from time to time. Without hiring them as full time, Is this a 1099 situation? How can we pay them accordingly and protect them and ourselves from tax issues? by [deleted]

You are quite literally asking "how do we hire a contractor but without hiring a contractor"

Looking to pay an individual and not a company.

An individual is a contractor, a contractor is a one person company.

Ok. So do we need to file anything tax related or is it on them? Do we need to get documentation from them or just pay an invoice?

I am not a lawyer or an accountant. You should talk to yours. But for most business purposes you just hire the business to do the work, they give you an invoice, you pay them, the end.
