A question about employment law
Apparently the company I work for does not have any employees aside from the owners. As far as taxes are concerned, everyone is an independent contractor. This means that they do not have to pay for benefits, unemployment insurance or worker's compensation. We "employees" obviously get the raw deal here, but I am wondering if operating a company like this is even legal. One person I talked to said that it is legal, but only if there is no "must work on-site" requirement, which there is. It sounds highly unethical (not a stretch for this company) but JUST legal enough. I would like to know if the company I am working for is operating above ground or not.
