Re: Clarification (100 days)

In Response To: Re: Clarification (100 days) (FoolsRun) : It's related to labor laws. A contract worker is essentially a consultant, : and therefore receives different (fewer) benefits that an regular : employee. If a consultant is allowed to work full-time for an indefinite : period, you could argue that consultant is really an employee, and should : therefore receive all the benefits of a full-time employee. Since benefits : are often "included" as part of a consultant's fee, having to : provide (and pay for) benefits on top of this would be like having to pay : for the same thing twice. I don't know the specifics of MS contracting : positions, but the short answer is it's about money. : A lawsuit regarding this was brought against Microsoft many years ago, and : one of the ways they now avoid the problem is by limiting the contract : period for temporary workers. At my company, for example, we can only : employ an outside consultant for a year. After that, we either have to : hire him full-time, or get rid of him. I just said what you already did, only with less eloquence and evidence. Oof!
