and we need to remind them that contract workers demand half payment up front and remainder when job is finished. this tenure thing sounds like they are setting hours for us in a weird way. So, if this is all the case we want health benefits and SS paid and taxes withheld. Don't think they've got real lawyers working on this thing, but just a bunch of wanna be techies.I think all of these payment issues they are having from this weekend is to make the new "direct deposit" style payments system coming up look more attractive.
