There are almost always loopholes and gray areas. I'm pretty sure its illegal, but here is one example: I hire you to rebuild my kitchen; I eventually 'run out of money' and lay you off. 3 months later I rehire you to finish the kitchen. Are you really a full-time employee? Am I responsible for your healthcare? Or are you still just a contractor? In this example, i'll bet most would say no, you're just a contractor. But that is also just at your house, not some mega-corporation...gray area, right?
I believe its the use of layoff and such terminology, that gets them around laws
- thanksgiving 9y agoBut if your contract with the "non-employee" says that they may not work for any employer for n years or that they may not use what they learned from working at your business elsewhere then I say they deserve compensation. It is obvious to me that if you want an employee to not work for someone else, you need to pay them the same as if they're working for you. This is how things work at the executive level. This is how it should work for everyone. It is the least we can do.
