You know, I haven't heard that argument being raised yet. That's an interesting point.
I think California could have said "pay gig workers with a W-2 but you don't need to give them all the exact same benefits as employees (health insurance, 401k, disability)”. Basically I'm not sure that it matters much, but you are correct in that California cannot amend federal law.
- jedberg 6y agoIf anything you would want them to say "pay them with a 1099 but also you must follow these extra rules beyond the federal 1099 rules". If you make them W2, then there are a bunch of federal rules you have to follow that may not make sense.
