| Anonymous Coward User ID: 75368507 United States03/28/2020 05:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | From MSNBC - Can gig workers get benefits? Yes, the legislation extends unemployment checks to gig workers, like Uber and Lyft drivers, who are generally independent contractors rather than the salaried employees typically eligible for unemployment. The Labor Department should publish guidance shortly about the specific mechanics relative to gig workers, such as the documentation needed to prove wages and work history, experts said. Tax forms such as 1099s and some sort of payment stub should suffice, they said. The guidance should also stipulate if and how gig workers can get benefits for a severe decline in income, rather than outright job loss. Gig workers and contractors are likely to be able to get partial benefits if they don’t earn too much, said Stephen Wandner, a labor economist at the Upjohn Institute.

Quoting: tamaralori My wife does the exact same thing, we just took a 10k hit on flowers that went to waste due to the wedding halls cancelling on the brides just two days before the even a week or so ago when NY abruptly banned large gatherings and forced all non essential places to close the following day. Basically were going to end up doing the events for free given the events were paid for but now well be ordering those flowers again for a second time. Sucks but hopefully things get better by summer. |

Basically the big funerals with the large floral pieces are not occurring. The families are just doing a tiny one day wake along with mass and burial. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 63927796 United States03/28/2020 07:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | pretty sure contractors arent eligible for UI Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77539625 i guess it depends on state...you arernt considered an employee as a contractor i learned this the hard way The bill they just passed contains provisions allowing 1099 workers access to unemployment. Three hundred and fifty million of it is going to help the illegals / "migrants" and "refugees" just so you know. I'm sure there will be more interesting things in the bill revealed. "Senate Coronavirus Bill Includes $350 Million For Migrants And Refugees" [link to www.informationliber...] Is anyone "tired of winning" and having Mexico not pay for the wall as promised it would? Beats anything hitlary would have done, you fagggot. "hitlary" is NOT the president. |
