Companies will often label someone a contractor so that they land in a different employment bucket and don’t get standard employee benefits.
It’s very clearly an abuse of the concept of a contractor, but sometimes companies break the law, intentionally or unintentionally.
i did a quick look of relevant job offers near me, and every single one of them was listed as “independent contractor”… i am glad that i don’t have to seriously look for a job right now, and i hope something is done about these disgusting hiring practices soon
