What I don't understand is why the law in USA allows someone be employed, and by signing some contract thing still count as if she is not employed.
In Russia, distinction is clear in law. Do you pay her regularly? I. e. at least one a month? Then she is employee, no matter who says what.
I understand less protection for workers, less vacation, less regulation overall, this is all understandable. I don't understand why facts are ignored in favor of words.
- speedplane 8y agoIn the U.S., there is a multi-factor test if someone is an employee. Just paying someone regularly isn't enough. You might get a haircut once a month, but your barber clearly isn't an employee. It requires more, like control over their day-to-day actions, if you provide benefits, and several other factors. The Russian law may seem clear, but in reality it's just a stand-in for a more complex analysis.
