Contractors Law. Will it affect you?

[Gremlin]

There is the additional factor of course... why do you have contractors? More often than not, it's to outsource a speciality, rather than having the overheads of employing staff, maintaining those staff etc. In my case a client could say, pay for less than one employee a year, but have the benefit of multiple technicians but not full time.

Ultimately, the law is stupid. There is already law in place for companies that want to abuse the structure to take advantage of people... and as said, contracts by their very nature don't have to be renewed (so they're not going to make it difficult to their client)... but perhaps that's another law in the works?

So salespeople who are independent contractors to a large company, will have to be on a retainer of minimum wage? Not just commission only? How do they track the hours spent by a salesperson on chasing leads, talking to businesses etc? I worked 120 hours this week, prove I didn't.

Is it too late to complain about the fucking retarded spelling of the title?

i think you might find this bill was targeted at the likes of fruit pickers and out workers for companies who often do struggle to make minimum wage. very easy to say just don't do it but often those who are doing those sorts of jobs don't have much choice.

n example is our daughter was doing out work for a local company, the job was gluing magnets on on to shapes, she got very proficient and quick at it and happened to say something when she dropped some off, they then dropped the rate because she was making to much money in their opinion.

she was lucky because she lived at home and my solution was simple, tell them to shove it.

that is not an isolated incident unfortunately.
