[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 9263140, member: 15700"] First off, I am terribly sorry you have to experience this. You have my complete sympathy. While I'm responding to this one bit, that doesn't mean I don't think the other things you said are unimportant, only that I can't really comment about them. For this bit, there are several reasons why contractors are used and not direct to hire employees. I only use contractors, because I go by projects, and rather than hire someone on a project only to lay them off when the project is done, it makes more sense to hire them as contractors for that specific project. That doesn't mean I'm trying to avoid taxes or have bad character. If your husband's contract stated 40 hours a work week, then absolutely he should be paid that or it's a violation of that contract. If the contract was for work without stating an hour per week req, then requiring that is also a violation because contractors are there to do the work, not be micromanaged like an employee is, and typically contractors aren't dictated hours. I see this stuff all the time--people not understanding how contract work actually works and confusing a contractor with an employee (employers/businesses should really know better). Seems like a lot of companies want the flexibility of using contractors while also having the control of being an employer to an employee, and you can't have it both ways. It's frustrating. This is from the state of Oregon, but most contractors in most states are the same: [I]That means you shouldn't dictate how, when and where contractors do the work. For instance, [B]you shouldn't set work hours for your contractors[/B], assign them an office or provide them with tools. You should treat them as a vendor. Next, you shouldn't provide training to do the work.[/I] Again, I'm not trying to pick on you by pointing out this clarification, only to help illustrate why these conversations can get tricky, because you (general you, not you specifically) need to be careful about implications of a person's character or accusations.
