[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 2373869, member: 60252"] Two cases are bad for contractors- either they are in a higher tax bracket now than back then, and they pay a higher % than they would have back then or, even worse- that this lump sum bumps them into a higher tax bracket this year and they end up paying a higher tax rate on the settlement AND a higher rate on this years income. As far as WC, while I was still with fedex, they weren't yet requiring it. IN fact, it was the early group of us 'disgruntled' that started making them require UI and WC. In my case, two of my drivers tried to collect UI after I left, and fedex was determined to be the employer, not me. Fedex was required to pay UI and WC back taxes for those two, but just on those two drivers. Fedex didn't fight the tax because if they lost, and they would have, a legal precedent in the state would have been set. Fedex ALWAYS settles these employment cases when a loss is obvious. They stopped appealing my win of UI when it went to the state court of Appeals, where a ruling would have set a precedent the state could have enforced. After the initial ruling for Fedex by Judge Clark a few years ago, fedex thought they had avoided a negative legal ruling, but when they lost in front of the federal appeal court, they knew they had to change their 'model' and figured they could get another 15 years from the ISP model, at a minimum.
