What laws exist that say an employer has to provide benefits for their employees? A lot of employers offer flexible schedules and a flex schedule can be negotiated during the hiring process.

Going from Contractor to Employee status adds 20% - 30% in labor costs. Things like Workers Comp, PTO, unemployment insurance, etc. that companies are forced to pay. There is indeed a "loophole" or labor discount with ICs.

I don't disagree that our healthcare system is a joke. But working full-time for a company in no way, shape or form guarantees that you'll get health benefits too. AB5 also doesn't force employers to provide healthcare.

I would assume certain industries require special permitting or licensing for LLCs.

"Ultimately we're forcing a bunch of societal burden onto employers." How so?

Because companies complain that it adds 20% - 30% to their labor costs.

That's exactly what they have to do and some are. However, forming and running an LLC can have it's own headaches depending on the type of business you're running. In some industries, running as an LLC would cost you more t

I totally get and understand being scared at losing part of one's income, especially in place like California, but I agree with you. This is a step in the right direction and removes the ability for companies to continue to exploit 10

It removes a mechanism that allows companies to exploit workers by treating them like employees, but considering them legally as ICs (no Workman's Comp, at-will, etc.) and giving them a 1099 form at the end of the year.

"post a link so we can judge" is precisely the attitude on SO that I find reprehensible.

I stopped participating in Stack Overflow and Server Fault a number of years ago. Something happened on the way to its popularity, especially on Server Fault. Questions were being asked and a number of highly rated users were closing them

I'm utterly dumbfounded at someone who manages people, stating this. I budgeted for training on a per employee basis when I created my yearly budgets.

You're absolutely right and I corrected myself with a comment. I don't know why but I can't delete my original comment nor can I edit it.

by gregd 7y ago
You're right. I corrected myself with a comment because I cannot edit my original post. That will teach me to make comments before the caffeine has kicked in.

As someone who was once an NREMT-B in the US, we were taught that someone isn't dead, until they're cold dead. I haven't read the article yet, but I assume they kept her warm.

So, a carrier lies to a consumer about network coverage to lock them into a contract, with no way out? Sounds like everyday, corporate America.

Over and above the policy that a Corporation has over your phone (personal or otherwise) when you access their stuff, nobody talks about the potential liability that can open up to your personal device during an e-discovery process. You cou

This isn't that hard to understand. In order to access corporate email systems, you have two choices generally. Either you use a Corporate Owned device or you use a Personal Device but allow Corporate to do what they want to it. In e

I grew up in the heart of the Emerald Triangle. I can assure you that no 'hippy' is doing this. Their relationship with this plant is far different than everyone else's.

I've been working remotely for 8 years now. I'm truly interested in understanding why you think it's such a bad idea. I mean I used to have to commute through downtown Portland, Oregon at rush hour. Just being able to leave

It takes me almost 2 hrs to recover (i.e.: reengage) after meetings...totally unrelated to coding or whatever project I'm working on.
