I dont think that a factory making piecework pricing more complicated would change the legal employment situation though.

  Factory workers typically have shift requirements. Uber drivers don't even have to work at all.

    It's essentially the difference between hourly work and piece work. Making things into piece work and trying to get out of labor laws is an old trick that the authorities have thought of already.

      Piece work is completely legitimate, you just have to make sure minimum wages are obtained.

        A minimum wage arrangement, by definition, is an attribute of an employee/employer relationship.
