you're right. i'd forgotten about this. i'd once known this stuff backwards b/c, in my old employment sitch, i was technically a contractor -- working from home, all my own equipment, software, ran the operation pretty much entirely, etc. technically, what he'd done was illegal. but, since i was only employee, everyone else a contractor, i couldn't do anything with the Labor Dept since they require a min. number of employees to hold an employer to the laws on that.
