None. The benefits are all to the "employer". All the years I worked for Shutterbug magazine they classed me as an independent contractor. That means they didn't have to pay into unemployment or deal with payroll taxes, include me on company medical insurance, and so on. It also means that when I "voluntarily" retired, there was no pension. Bob -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
