Hiring a call team manager, IC or Employee?

[Rag$2Riche$]

I am looking to hire a telesales team manager for which I don't know if I must hire him as an employee or if I can do this under IC. The manager will work from his home, will have regular working hours, general management of the telesales team (who will be under IC), be paid hourly and commission. As I do not have experience yet and know all of the fine details of what will be expected of the manager as I am sure more will come up as we begin the work. My question being would I be able to hire this manager as an IC? If you cannot answer my question as 100% fact where would I obtain a factual answer?

Based on your criteria (working from home, regular work hours, etc), I think you might be needing remote workers like these:

They differ from oDesk and Elance because you can hire them for full time which is exactly what you are looking for. Hope that helps you out in the selection process (which I understand is also a tedious task).
