Regardless of what you think of the bill, that's a bogus test. I may want a guy to come do a contract job for me on certain hours according to a certain spec and meeting certain compliance standards. Maybe these aren't even my restrictions, but those of a client. I might need some one for a specific job who I don't generally, so I get a contractor. He still has less control over how he does his work.<p>On the other hand, I have had bosses who don't care if or when I come in, so long as I get the work done. I have also had those who want me in a desk, nine-to-five.<p>It's a bogus test, and like so many other things governments do, will cause a long-term problem for a short-term gain. Politicians spend more time touting their bill than they do considering and mitigating its actions.
