An even easier solution is to get rid of these artificial and rather arbitrary distinctions and thresholds that have been imposed by government over the years. As we can see here, all they do is introduce economic distortions that in turn cause various problems for both the employees and the employers. Instead of doing productive work, the employees and employers waste far too many resources working around or trying to cope with these unnecessary bureaucratic impediments. Even if such regulations may have been introduced under the guise of helping workers, they've instead created a situation where workers are worse off in new ways.
