[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 553076, member: 22880"] So in otherwords, you can operate your business as you please, but you'll be penalized with a withholding of monies if you don't operate as FedEx "suggests". This isn't an independent contractor model, it is legalized extortion. FedEx demands that your employees meet a certain standard, or they'll reduce payment to you? They can call it a bonus, but it is a requirement. I'm sure that $26,000 is a substantial part of your annual profit margin. You don't comply, you don't make a decent profit. Are there any "contractors" that don't get the "bonus" and are still able to make a profit on their "business"? More FedEx shell game of trying to claim the use of independent contractors, but exerting an employee-employer control all the way down to the "helpers". This is why this charade will eventually end. It is misclassification of the worst kind, only allowed to continue because of FedEx's legal struggles to keep it in motion. The Express employees are getting like treatment, just not as severe; since we still have "employee" status with the corporation. [/QUOTE]
