- jedberg 7y agoI suspect dependent contractor and hourly worker would effectively merge. Both would get benefits if they work enough hours. The difference would be whether the boss picks the work hours or you do.
- cjlars 7y agoThe big issues would be when worker starts and ends, self direction in terms of how they do the job (and associated liability), worker's comp, unemployment insurance, and tools / vehicles (I.e. should Uber be required to pay ~50 cents per mile to it's drivers. W-2 says yes, 1099 says no).
