Just to expand, it's still illegal even if they follow through on the $55K contract after 4 months, even if that averages out to more than minimum wage over the 16 months. If you treat someone like an employee, you have to put them on payroll, with a regular pay schedule, paying at least minimum wage, and start withholding taxes, immediately.
- gamechangr 12y agoI think that's how they intend to structure it. They want a 16 month commitment with prorated contract of $55k. I am yet to see the contract to see how the 120 day (4 month) is defined. They did mention that they would have check to see if this was legal and implied that if it wasn't they would pay for me to do a "java bootcamp" and then they would go from there.
