Here in Slovakia even regular taxi drivers can be independent contractors and it's perfectly OK with the law, a lot of taxi drivers here even ride for multiple companies (regular taxi dispatchers, uber, bolt, their own prices for longer trips)
- mike00632 6y agoDrivers are allowed to be independent contractors in California. But the law requires that the drivers be truly independent in ways that Uber and Lyft do not allow.
- black3r 6y agofrom what I've just read about the AB5 the one thing that doesn't make sense to me is the clause that defines an independent contractor when "the service is performed outside the usual course of business of the employer". This seems that it can also force software devs to become employed if they just want to do a short-term contract for a software company and potentially affect other businesses as well. In our country, we instead require independent contractors to use their own resources/equipment to perform the job while allowing companies to hire them even if it's their main course of business.
