Indeed, the life of an agency freelancer can be pretty good. Advertising agencies in California are facing a possible talent drought after the state's Supreme Court ruled freelance workers could only be treated as such if their work was outside a firm's "usual course". The ruling by the state appeals court on Monday means that freelancers who don't have an established business relationship with a company will no longer qualify for minimum wage and overtime pay. others do not, and some fear skilled freelancers will want to retain their flexible work schedules and may seek opportunities elsewhere, according to anonymous executives.
