Right. The only time it makes sense to hire fulltime instead of 1099 is if the job will span more than a year. Under that, the job is over, the contract labor force moves on. Otherwise, you have to fire/lay off, you rack up your unemployment insurance costs, etc. Messy, expensive. Tim PS: Yes, employers actually have to pay into the unemployment insurance pot and have to hope they never fire anyone that will try to collect. When claims are made against the escrow, the employer has to start paying a higher rate, so you cost them money even after you are laid off. -- Tim Sailer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> DoE Intelligence and Counterintelligence - Cyber Division Northeast Regional Counterintelligence Office Brookhaven National Laboratory (631) 344-3001 _______________________________________________ New York PHP Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk NYPHPCon 2006 Presentations Online http://www.nyphpcon.com Show Your Participation in New York PHP http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php
