Obama to go after independent contractors (1099′s)

Here is an article from Inc. Magazine from last week.  Let’s hope that Obama can get somewhere with this as legitimate companies get undersold on their services every day by what I call “pirate” companies that don’t pay taxes, don’t have workers comp, and use poor labor practices in order to win business.

Check out the link below for a very good article on PEO, professional employer organization.  Sometimes referred to as employee leasing, but there are some differences in the models of hr outsourcing.

Some good quotes from NAPEO (National Association of PEO) as well.

When will the ban on texting while driving hit the PEO arena?

I am waiting to see the first case of a workers comp carrier denying coverage of a claim because an employee was doing something illegal…aka driving while texting…during the course of work. I wonder how a PEO will handle this?
