The 1099-NEC is used for Non Employees. That is in the title of the form. If you are an employee, you should not get a 1099-NEC. Your boss is responsible for one half of your social security and medicare taxes on your wages. When he puts your commissions on the 1099-NEC, he is trying to avoid his half of the taxes. Not paying it, leaves him subject to penalties and interest. Misclassifying your income as self-employment income does not changes his responsibility.
