<prompt> Human: I work as a Copywriter for a company. Right now, Im an employee they take taxes out of my paycheck, I come into the office 2 days a week and work at home the rest of the time. However, my boss recently brought up how they need to put me as a labor contractor and give me my entire pay because what theyre doing now is technically illegal and not by the book and the only way for me to stay on as an employee would be to work in the office 40 hours a week. Is there anything I can say or do to prevent this from happening? I dont live close to the office and driving there and back 5 days a week would be too much, and I also really dont want to go through the process of having to pay my own taxes. Plus, wouldnt I be losing money by being a labor contractor?  <response>: If they make you a contractor, they no longer have to pay their portion of your employment taxes 7.65 and in that case youd be responsible for paying those. Additionally, as a contractor, you are not entitled to benefits or paid time off. There is nothing illegal about working from home, and it seems to me this is just a excuse they wanna use to pay you less.
