We used to hire employees in California, and even with letting an external payroll company do everything we were still getting civil rights posters like every week. Who were they for? Where were they supposed to go in our coworking space? When we let the payroll company go the administrative burden was such a sidequest to our actual mission that it was untenable. To clarify we ended employee status alongside getting rid of the payroll company. 1099 is just simpler and for the federal government's rules the discretion of the people we worked with fit the requirements for contractor status. So now removing choices for even having employees or not really makes it unattractive for businesses under a certain size. I think they should consider that.
