Writing 4 articles per week for a single publication, possibly writing exclusively for them, sounds like a pretty good case for considering someone an employee rather than a contractor.
- cnst 7y agoIn a recent Newsweek thread here on HN, I think it was revealed that employees were expected to write 4 articles per day, not per week. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21339990 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21339990 ("they’d have to write a minimum of four stories per day") Doing 4 short articles per week wouldn't really fly for a full-time employee the way all these papers and magazines are doing nowadays, where a whole bunch of them already have had to shutdown. The way this law is written, where the freelancer cut-off is at 35 articles a year, even someone like Boris Johnson wouldn't be able to "knock off an article as a way of relaxation" on a part-time basis. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2009/jul/13/boris-johnson-second-salary-chickenfeed https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2009/jul/13/boris-johns...
