Dear Darlings Doree and Krucoff: Guess What? You’re Both Wrong About Sheila McClear. →
Which is excellent! For the aforementioned recently laid-off Miss McClear, that is. Who says? Why, the New York State Department of Labor, in its concerted two-year effort to crack down on employers who misclassify their workers as independent contractors!
Question. Does anything happen to the companies in this case? So Sheila gets laid off. She applies for unemployment. They see that she has been classified as a contractor. No one has been paying payroll taxes or anything else on her. Does the Dept. of Labor care? Does she just automatically get unemployment? ENLIGHTENMENT PLZ.
