Here is the dirty little secret about this. It costs the contractors NOTHING !!!!!.
These costs just get added on as part of the fee schedule.
Who pays? We do of course.
...Who pays? We do of course...
That is the foundation of socialism.
A lot of contractors are working on fixed price contracts or fixed rate contracts. Sick leave will not be billable hours so the new cost will come out of the bottom line.
So true. Anyone who deals with contractor agencied knows that any requirement of the employer gets charged right back to them. When I worked at MSFT they decided to start charging contractors for their onsite workspace. Guess who ended up pay for that? MSFT paid for it.
Companies that provide contractors are in it to make money, Anything a public or private company decides to require of these agencies gets passed one way or another right back to the company. It’s a big shell game.
Obama makes these decrees and they are utterly meaningless. As people pay less attention to him, he will do more of them trying to convince people he is really and truly on their side. Doesn’t matter, he is not on the ballot anymore.
