[the long march]

And who wrote this site? When they refer to laid off workers as LAIN off workers I am already suspicious. Moreover, this site has to do with trying to understand who is consider an independent contractor and who is a company employee. Most of those questions have been settled by litagation

I found that page from the www.contingentlaw.com site.

It is just giving you some things to think about if you (an employer) is planning to convert employees to contractors.

Since there are a lot of pitfalls to this process it seems the gov’t has employers over a barrel.

I would assume that it would be best to begin “contracting” people instead of hiring them.

I would also think that a larger company might break themselves up into small independent companies so that the worker limits would be below gov’t thresholds and avoid some of the new fines.
