Why is the Editor-in-Chief being classified as an independent contractor?
- kasey_junk 7y agoProbably because they do piece work on their own time with flexible hours and no set schedule?
- heavyset_go 7y agoPlenty of people who are employees have flexible hours and no set schedules.
- kasey_junk 7y agoI’m not an AB 5 expert so don’t know what the qualifications are nor the exemptions but piece work is a classic marker of IC work. I don’t know that I’m for that but it’s common enough that changing it would of course cause strife.
- pcmonk 7y agoThis is SB Nation, they have >100 separate sites (one per sports team in the leagues they cover, plus some extras), and they each have an "editor-in-chief" which is specific to that site and manages that community. It's not always their day job, as in this case it isn't.
- Retric 7y agoPart time employees can work 5 hours a week. That’s got nothing to do with the employe vs contractor decide. Unless your ‘contractors’ are doing the same thing for multiple clients over the year, their probably employees.

- kasey_junk 7y agoYeah changed to gender neutral pronouns as I should have written it in the first place. Thanks.
- scarejunba 7y agoBecause that's what he would prefer.
