I seem to recall that there is an exemption for companies with fewer than 50 employees.
If so, and I owned a company that had, let’s say 200 employees, I would break the company into a half a dozen or so separate entities that worked under contract to perform their task or specific function.
The IRS and the state of California both have regulations and laws forbidding such practices. They are going to get you coming and going I’m afraid.
