“Most of my clients are in D.C. but the one California transcription firm I work for is a small company that will not and cannot make employees out of us.”

I wonder how difficult it would be for that firm to move to some other nearby state?

I would imagine pretty easy.

I work in a city that passed the $15 minimum wage law. We responded by laying off local employees and hiring employees from out of state that can remote into our office and do the same job. The remote workers get paid the minimum wage of the state they live in.

Unintended consequences indeed...

Not a chance, especially since their revenue plummeted when their biggest client, the State of California, pulled most of their contracts and gave them to OUT OF STATE transcription companies. So much for giving a rip about its citizens.

If this bill becomes law, the California firms will NOT hire their contractors as employees. They will hire non-California transcribers.
