Okey, doke. I'll give you your professional props.
Just one question: what's minimum wage in LA?
Just one question: what's minimum wage in LA?
Silver, its my JOB to know what most common industries pay. Starting wages in construction are between 8-12 dollars an hour depending on the area, and any job where they have to bring in outside contractors from other areas is generally 12-15 an hour starting...PLUS per diem.
There is no way that this employer is not playing games with the IRS. I can just about guess that previous to this the employer treated everyone as subcontractors, and therefore paid no employers taxes or workers comp at all...got busted on that one...and now is paying barely more than minimum wage, with high per diems. Its "classic".
