Knowing the Difference Can Save Your Business Grief
Stanley runs a web design company with 2 employees. A large contract came his way from a customer referral and he found himself needing some additional help. He didn’t want to commit to hiring a full time employee, so he put out some feelers and hired Anna to help out for 20 hours a week. He told her she was being hired on a contract basis, and that the position wasn’t permanent, and she agreed. He paid her a straight hourly wage without deductions.
