The legal protections on hourly workers aren't enforced in the US or are skirted around by making hourly employees contractors. Professionals would like some of the protections but only if they are actually enforced.
- nemo44x 5y agoThe law defines what a contractor is vs employee. However it can be ambiguous in some cases, especially modern “gig employee” work. Existing boxes don’t fit well. We need new law for this class of worker that wants freedom to choose hours, platforms (like a contractor) but has employer set rates and tasks (like an employee) where there are certain protections beyond a 1099 but also allow these businesses to work, as well as the workers having freedom.
