I’d hit it
Moving on to more boring stuff....
Once the business has to pay them minimum wage (which I do not object to) making them no longer independent contracters, things are going to get complicated as regards a host of federal laws, including ObummerCare.
As an independent contractor, I don’t see how they can be such as the requirements are currently written. Most obvious, as IC they must be allowed to work whenever they please, not subject to a schedule the club sets. You know that is not the case.
Ultimately, if you wanna see strippers in strip-clubs, you'll have to go "Offshore".....
Not only that, but “sexual harassment” laws were in abeyance, I should think, when they were “independent contractors” but would apply now, I would assume.
Don’t the clubs have a waiting list of girls? So the girls pay to get stage time, like a band would. And if the girls don’t like their times, they cancel, and other girls take their time slots.
Even a pub’s “house band” is generally an independent contractor, and could simply stop showing up at any time, but then they would lose their slots.
According to an accountant I knew, the IRS (at least once upon a time) would have certain criteria for contractors and 1099 employees. One method of determining the actual status of the employee was if they were using their own tools or if the employeer was providing them. If you come with your own tools and equipment, you are a self-employed contractor and have to pray estimated taxes and self-ekployment tax.
So will the employer have to provide g-strings, pasties, and 6” spike heels? Feather boas?
Now I am really curious... the Tijauna Donkey show is the Donkey equipment provide by the club or is the donkey an IC as well... oh that’s a
Mexico...
