Long have independent contractors in New York City largely operated with no contract in place.
A contract is required. Court reporters are not exempt. The law becomes effective on August 24, 2024.
As told by the link I posted:
A contract outlines all your rights and obligations under a business agreement, so if there’s something you want, make sure it’s in the contract or not excluded by the contract.
Enjoy your day, all.
P.S.
Enjoy one of my favorite fictional scenes.
Creative musing:
Inside our box I trembled. We have such a rigid culture. Could others accept someone who is different? But others felt that way too.
And when we stuck together, others in our box took notice. And when we struck a nerve, they did their best not to flinch.
But do you let go of the crocodile’s mouth? If it opens, will our box be crushed? I shudder. The art of silencing others was never in my heart. But I saw how the crocodile silenced you.
I leapt from our box to protect you. Outside our box my grip grew weaker, but you stood beside me.
It’s a big box. But now the thoughts are free.
Now we are free.
