- 4 - Activities of the Company During 1992 The company experienced a busy year in 1992. Petitioner had approximately 100 jobs, with each job lasting anywhere from 6 weeks to 6 months. While petitioner typically maintained a workforce of approximately 20 to 25 people, during 1992 that figure increased to 40. Most of the employees served in the field as installers. Petitioner, a superintendent, an estimator, and an office manager operated out of the business office. At some point in 1992, Robert Cook approached petitioner about working at one of his job sites. Mr. Cook, however, conditioned his services upon being paid in cash. Due to his need for labor, petitioner agreed, but only after informing Mr. Cook that he would be issued a Form 1099 with respect to the cash payments made to him. William Baker and Dennis Page were hired by petitioner under similar circumstances. Petitioner did not meet with these individuals; rather, he hired them on the recommendation of his job foremen. Mr. Baker and Mr. Page each insisted on being paid in cash for their services, a condition to which petitioner again agreed on the understanding that Forms 1099 would be issued with regard to the payments. Petitioner’s arrangements with Messrs. Cook, Baker, and Page (collectively, the workers) constitute the only instance in which petitioner paid a worker in cash for services rendered.
