Oh, but don’t forget, he’s gonna give us a 3K tax break for creating new jobs! I’m waiting to see the small print on that one. Wonder how long we’d have to keep the employee to get the 3K.

And what entitlements will need to be granted to the employee? My contractor neighbor retired after 40 years and said towards the end, it was always better just to pay towards the high end of the scale and use temporary staff.

You nailed it. That why I want to see the fine print. Depending on how bad it is, all of my employees may find themselves as independent contractors very soon, and new employees would only be part time if at all. We can ride this out for 4 years if necessary, and I can't see any expansion in the near future if he gets in. His incentives will have the opposite effect, and he's just too hard headed to see it.
