> If an employee is not getting paid by an employer, that is between the employee, the employer, and the state department of labor. In NL you can forget about that. It use to be that you could stick some "fictional" company between you and your employees and get out of jail free for everything, including salaries. Jobs 1-4 hours per week made it extra unlikely for any employee to run the extra mile after they were left without a name, address or phone number after about 3 months. Taking the bankrupt company to court was expensive and unlikely to work. People don't take a 2 hour job unless they need the money. Now the obligation to pay salaries applies all the way up the food chain.
