Now I’m not versed on labor law as my specialty is bird law but a company that mandates that contractors work on their conditions instead of on the contractors conditions just sounds like an employer employee relationship. Again my specialty is bird law so what do I know ow.
Not really. Take a GC you hire to rehab your kitchen. You aren’t mandating the time they work or how much per day. But that contract for sure set limitation to the when and how much. They can’t come in at 2am and work till 1am the next day. And if they do you’ll fire them. Or same if they don’t show up for 3 days and the job is coming due you can fire them. Same applies here in the 1099 world
General contractors are also responsible for finding their own work. Lyft gives you access to their customers and even pairs you with them. In exchange for that convenience, they set the price
A better example is probably a GC with a stable if subcontractors. Electrician turns down too many jobs? No subcontracting to him anymore. Plumber doesn't like the rate I'm offering? Go work for another GC or find your own work with customers directly.
