They cant.
The problem that installers face on a daily basis is is that they treated as employees in the governments eyes (and for good reason alot of times.)
Once "said" contractor proves he is actually an employee under the law then contractor can sue for backpay on all those hours he worked.
This can be done in 2 ways..........peice rate would be 1.5 times what is actually on the price sheet or they can figure out how many hours the guy worked and his total amout of pay and give him an hourly price of what he was making and give him 1.5 time on the rest.
Its all on how the prime treats its contractors. If a contractor goes in there and says he doesnt want said work and then is punished, he can be considered as an employee. What I trying to say contractors should have a voice in the price and what work they will do.
